Conclusion
So, who is this lens for? In my opinion it is for someone who can have (or has chosen to have) only one camera on them for various reasons when you don't know what kind of shot you'll have: daily walkaround, vacation, grab and go.
。Would I take it with me if I had planned to go somewhere to shoot something particular? No. I would take something better: primes, f2.8 or f4 zoom in that case.
。 Would I take it with me if I was going somewhere cool and maybe I would get a chance to shoot? Yes.
。 Would I take it on vacation? Of course.
。Would I take it to a museum or concert or dance recital? No. Way too dark and slow to focus in poor light.
。 Would I take it for my backup body if shooting outdoors? Yes.
。 Would I take it on a casual photo walk around the neighborhood or on a hike? Yes, in the day time.
