L Laudrup Messages 5,182 Edit My Images No 4 Jul 2012 #2 Yeah decent price, they go for about £100 usually. It's an alright lens, nothing special, but worth that.

BacktotheFuji Messages 4,903 Name Graham Edit My Images No 4 Jul 2012 #3 It's worth it if you'll use a lens that wide. 16mm is very wide and not useful for general shots, which is a shame as it's so small.

Saintsman Messages 3,031 Name Dave Edit My Images No 4 Jul 2012 #4 IMHO the lens is OK - it's certainly not top notch IQ wise but then isn't priced at a level where you would expect it to be. That said it's a very decent 'kit' lens and for £70 and absolute bargain
