I think I've found the best affordable kit lens replacement I got with my Sony Alpha A300. CZ 18-60mm didn't fit my budget. I also tried the Tamron AF 17-50mm but had to return it due to a bad copy and it was a bit short for some of the photos I wanted to take. I found this lens to be a good compromise between price and range. and quality.
