Very surprise, since it a kit's lens but IQ performance not that bad, just to post some photos and comment on this cheap lens.
IQ: stopdown to f9, @18mm very decent usable for normal print or on screen.
@55mm very good when view at 100%, I will not try to use this lens wide open especially at wide end.
IS: at begining never beleave that IS function will help on wide zomm lens, it realy help when you need to stopdown the lens for it performance.

The quality is ok, but the pictures look pretty soft. Are they sharpened?

I want to thank you for taking the time to provide us with these images. I've been thinking about buying this lens, your photos and observations have helped me make up my mind, I'm gonna get one!
