Am Ende reicht es für das Pentax smc DAL 18-55 mm F3,5-5,6 AL WR nur zu einer befriedigenden Note. Dies liegt an einer nur durchschnittlichen Auflösung welche zu einer Abstufung führt, aber auch die sichtbaren Verzeichnungen und die störenden Reflexionen müssen hier genannt werden...

Very good85/100

Leider lässt die Bildqualität vom Pentax zum Wünschen übrig, da sie schlecht ist. Dafür punktet das Objektiv mit dem sehr gut bedienbaren Fokusring und dem Zoomring. Auch mit dem Streulichtschutz überzeugt das Gerät im Test.
