Pros: Lightweight,small, image quality,autofocus

Cons: Tropicalization,diaphragm ring

Opinion: In practice it is the lens that I use most of all. 35mm for me is ........ Pure love. I like prime lenses. I should write a longer opinion to save this review but I have nothing to add. I've already written everything. It's the plastic, cheaper version but changing it to the Limited wouldn't make me a better photographer. Rating 9,5

Pros: Lightness, sharpness

Cons: plastic bayonet

Opinion: Goal underestimated, at least as far as the results it offers. It makes the best of itself on the k1's FF sensor, which covers perfectly even if it is sold for apsc. If you find a cheap one in the second-hand market take it without hesitation. The cons reported in the previous opinions are all real , but they go into the background if you take into account the results according to the cost

Pros: Optical yield, size, weight, focus speed

Cons: completely plastic, no paraluce, noise focus

Opinion: Called "plastic fantastic" it looks like a lens built completely of plastic with a glossy black finish that makes it still pleasant to handle and returns a good quality sensation despite the construction material used. The weight is only 120 grams and surely the plastic construction helps not to make it heavy. Demerit note is the absence of the lampshade and the bayonet attack, so you have to use a universal screw with 49mm fillet. The yield of the lens is very good in terms of sharpness, color rendering and even blurry, not at home they call it plastic fantastic. The aberrations are contained and slightly closing the diaphragm disappears. The six-bladed diaphragm does not allow you to get round out-of-focus light points except at TA. The maximum opening of 2.4 can certainly not be called a fast but not even dark lens, it turns out to be a good compromise that allows you to have a compact and light lens. The focus is through the af engine of the machine. It turns out to be surprisingly fast but noisy. The absence of the QuickShift focus system does not allow you to freely rotate the dial when you are in Af mode. The consistency of the dial when used in the manual is good, not dampened as a manual lens but fluid and precise. In general it is a great lens for those who want a fixed with a very good yield and has a limited budget. It is undoubtedly a step ahead of many zooms even much more expensive. Curiosity... this lens covers the fullframe even if it is not officially declared

Pros: Price, clarity, lightness, versatility

Cons: noisy autofocus, economic construction

Opinion: Bought second hand but in excellent condition, very often use for general and nightclubs photos, knowing they can count on more versatile perspective than you can imagine. Perhaps because of its simplicity, it is also very sharp wide open and, although not as bright as the "big brother" 50 mm f / 1.8, performs well even in low light. The autofocus is quick and precise, but it is quite noisy and not always is the case of use in environments such as museums, theaters, etc ... The plastic construction is cheap, but this is for the benefit of the lightness and ease of handling, always excellent. Highly recommended if you want to have an economic purpose and light but with very good performance

Pros: Sharpness, blur, price

Cons: AF

Opinion: I bought this lens in July 2015 and I have never separated from my K50. It 'a normal focal (equivalent to a 50 in the full frame format) and you can do many things: landscapes, portraits, portraits settled, street, etc. etc. Really very versatile. Also opening f / 2.4 is very useful when shooting indoors or in low light situations. The sharpness, I think, is incredible even at full aperture and blurred af / 2.4 very pleasant. The lens is very light because it is made of plastic.

Pros: Clarity, practicality, price

Cons: Perhaps autofocus a bit 'noisy but eventually you get used to.

Opinion: I got used to September I did not take a lot of photos but what I did I was enough to understand that it is a great goal: economic, light, crisp and compact. Obviously there is the limited version, but for people like me on a budget is perfect. The autofocus is a bit 'noisy but nothing serious. I would absolutely recommend.
