I find it very handy for taking pictures of stuff to sell on ebay or going to the beach for that matter. I am way to poor to risk taking a pricey lens to the beach.

100% ,,,,, and OK all round too - if you shoot RAW it can scavenge lots of fine detail too (see the above examples at 100%) ,

its weak spot is edges (at least at F5.6 and smaller at the wide end)and sample variation , this one is usable through the zoom, some are soft at 45mm, some have edges like a Holga . whether there are ones which are both sharp at 45mm AND have good edges  at the wide end is another matter , I`ve not used enough of them to find out ... the lens is also very fussy about where a landscape is focussed for edged and if the IS unit has settled down (Both can cause blurry edges)
