I got the "pancake" kit lens system, so I bought this separately in order to get some zoom and a wider angle. I know it's not the actual wide angle, but at 28mm equiv., this lens captures a lot of the scene. It has been really great for my wife and I as we go house hunting.
The textured grip area for where you rotate to zoom is nice feeling. The entire zoom range feels smooth, yet a little heavy. I like this because it doesn't feel like I will change the zoom (or the focus for that matter, if in manual mode) accidentally as i let go of the barrel.
Unfortunately though, for portraits, the maximum aperture of 3.5 doesn't quite achieve that nice soft depth of field that is so desirable. For that reason, you must get the 20mm f1.7 lens to accompany this lens.
