Value for Money

The price of around £310 seems quite reasonable for a newly developed lens. Although it may be £90 dearer than the 18-55mm standard kit lens, the compact dimensions and 24mm equivalent field of view at the wide end of the zoom range mean this lens represents decent value for money, if either of those features appeal to you.
