Pros: Limited construction, macro, sharpness, contrast, built-in light screen

Cons: Slow AF

Opinion: It's the best Pentax lens I've had. It is very sharp already at full opening and has an exceptional contrast. Given the short focal point, the AF is a little slower due to the longer stroke but for this reason it is very precise. It's the classic lens to keep.

Pros: Metal construction, sharpness, Macro 1:1, good flare resistance, compact, lightweight virtually pocket-sized

Cons: Being a macro has the AF run a little long. For the rest I would say nothing else but not using it as a macro.

Opinion: I'm retiring my macrolo that for a couple of years now has accompanied me almost always, mounted or in the bag. It is a pleasure to handle it, I practice the retractable lampshade, pleasant leather case. I bought it used in good condition and today the "devaluation" of this lens is relative (the average price used by what I see remains on 220-280). I can't tell you the improvements of the latest version (HD) how much they have further improved what already goes definitely well. Even though the old version is, one can only express a positive appreciation. On apsc (it does not cover the FF) it becomes a classic sharp fifty, with boke quite soft and pleasant even for portraiture. I used it mainly for this and for street photos and it behaved well for the features (merits and defects) that were known to me. Soft and pleasant blurry, rarely use open diaphragms; closing a couple of stops from the best of ifs even if I do not lament for the full-opening surrender (but I do little text). You can certainly define a lens with a good personality, the quality of which is noticeable and stands out in comparison with optical kits or even just generalist, for colors and sharpness. A lens that has left its mark on me and that I will always take out every now and then.

Pros: Compact, metal construction perfect for true Limited, excellent optical quality, crystal clear even at full aperture. Macro 1:1. Resistance to flare proverbial.

Cons: Macro Shooting Distance 1:1 very small (compared to the hood), paint the cap delicate, not weather sealed.

Opinion: It is one of the best fixed and Pentax in general. It acts as a normal luxury APSC, and is perfect for macro flowers or objects. The only thing is that the 1:1 macro shooting distance is very small and can be difficult to get a good lighting of the subject if you do not have an off camera flash or ring finger. A resolution has a sharpness and proverbial, you can take pictures without fear of direct sun flares, I've never encountered problems of chromatic aberration, distortion and is non-existent in the pocket. Ah, it costs almost half of the Sigma 35mm (which is, however, an f/1.4). One of the reasons why it is worth having a Pentax. A lot of quality in a rugged, compact, low price. Need more?
