A standard zoom with very small aperture. Very high distortion. Very high light fall off towards the corners. Mediocre sharpness especially in the long end. Very high CA.

How on earth does this lens deserve 3 out of 5 stars for its optics?

For instance the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 VC, which scores better in all areas, gets 3 stars.
