Before blaming the lens alone, put the camera on a tripod and check the results. Remember your gfs 'shakey hands'. Well, people do much worse things when taking pics when they don't know any better. Watch people with one-use and P&S cameras. Notice any who jerk the camera down when they push the release? I have, and have retrained some on how to minimize camera movement. How about those grab shots where the subject isn't moving, but the camera is? I had a sister-in-law who went all over Europe taking pictures with an instamatic. At it's best, the camera could only make mildly unfuzzy 3x5s, but the majority of her shots were so blurred that the subjects were unrecognizable. It's actually harder for most people to hold a small light camera steady. I'm not saying the lens is any good, just that the evidence presented is not sufficient to come to that conclusion that it isn't. I suspect AF is also a factor in some poorly focused pics with P&S cameras.

AF definitely is a factor. Some of my shots, shot on tripod, with self-timer or remote control, are not in focus..

I suspect it's a combination of things:

First, cheap P&S with cheap lens.
Second, shaky hands
Third, moving subject with slow shutter speed
