Optically, the Pentax 18-55mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 II is quite good, perhaps sharper than it should be for the price point. CA is a slight issue in the corners at wide angle, but set to 35mm and above, isn't much of a factor. The 'II' designation is more than cosmetic, there have definitely been some tweaks under the hood, primarily resulting in improved sharpness. I don't see a compelling reason to upgrade to this lens from a previous version of the 18-55mm - the $200 is probably better invested in more capable glass.
