Positive aspects of the product (pros):	SHARP!!! Quiet with Good Range and Close Focus.

I know I'm new to Pentax World, but I've been a pro-photographer for over 40 years and this is the best Normal Zoom I've ever used, and I've used most. I've seen some good and most not so good. The Pentax 17-70mm is Great.
