Nice little lens. He's stabilized. It's surprisingly sharp in the middle (for the price). That being said, after trying to love it for a few months, I still don't wear it at home most of the time and usually prefer to carry a set of faster primes with me (including some old fully manual Nikkor lenses with an adapter ). I suspect its focal length isn't all that useful to me. I prefer either much wider or much longer. Except for the 50-60mm range (100-120mm equivalent), but I have a solution in that range. I'm not deducting a star because the lens doesn't suit my shooting preferences, but because it's a "wired focus" lens, as I find it almost as annoying as "power zoom".
