Pros: Construction, WR, good overall yield and sharpness (after calibration), lightness.

Cons: Fine AF calibration to do, small lampshed and pressure cap, mounting UV filters trigger abnormal flares and ghosts with point lights, cost.

Opinion: It's the standard lens that brought me into the Pentax world. Good yield to open diaphragms, excellent from 5.6 up. It has a skimpy focal range of 30 to 60 mm equivalent, but adequately replaces the entire set 21-35-40. For a complete and quality APS-C kit just add a 15 and a 70 and you're done. The lampshed is small, cute but ineffective, and the pressure cap is nice but you risk losing it. I replaced it all with a larger screw lampshed and clip cap. I had to spend some time calibrating the AF. Finally, in the evening, with point lights even frontal, using UV filters triggers abnormal and annoying Ghost and Flare, absolutely not present without mounted filter. I did accurate tests without filter and with Hoya Pro1 filter (one of the best, so it wasn't a filter issue!), on tripod and in the same shooting conditions. Vote 8
