Well built, excellent value
Just because it's plastic doesn't mean the build quality is poor. And just because it's a kit lens, doesn't mean it's terrible. I'm pleased with mine. It's plenty sharp for 5x7,8x10 even 11x14 prints. No reason for me to print larger. It's plenty sharp for posting online and social media.
Mine's well built, focusing is smooth and doesn't make a sound. The manual focus ring is large and easy to use.Great everyday lens. Great compliment to the couple of primes, a macro and a longer zoom that I have.
My few knocks, probably because I'm a bit old school, I miss the focus distance and aperture markings you used to see on lenses. There's also no hard stop to focusing. Might be tricky to focus to infinity. The work around is to set the camera to DMF (direct manual focus) and use the viewfinder to manually focus to infinity.
Photographer Ken Rockwell says it best: "the Zeiss lenses are sharper if you spend your life indoors looking at the corners of zoomed-in images on computer screens, but for people who actually get out, shoot and hang one-man shows in galleries, this lens is more than sharp enough" (quote is from his review of the lens from his website)

Oversized point&shoot
It feels more like an oversized point and shoot rather than a small DSLR. But the images are great. The size makes it great for travel. The plethora of adapters available means that just about any lens out there can be used, but especially nice that old Minolta Maxxum lens can be adapted to this camera.
The menu system leaves something to be desired.

Excellent and inexpensive
Great price for an excellent lens. Why pay a lot more for a little bit better?
