I got this lens when I purchased my camera, and I can tell you I take amazing shots with it, I'm thinking to upgrade my lens pretty soon but I honestly have no complain about it. Take a look at my pics and see yourself.

The quality is great and the versitility for landscape shots is unbeatable unless you want to get that cliff on the other side of the mountains. There is where the problem arises. Besides the short zoom it is a great lens.
