Pros:Construction, compactness, good optical performance
Cons:NOISY AF!!
Opinion:I start immediately with what I think is the only real sore point of this Pentax lens. The autofocus is noisy. But not a bit noisy. It is very noisy! Almost embarrassingly noisy! I doubt that it was designed in this way by Pentax because otherwise I can't explain it. If you use it in quiet environments or try to go unnoticed it could become a big problem. However, the AF turns out to be very fast and accurate. Noise problems aside, we are faced with a lens in full Pentax style: small, light but very solid, with an impeccable construction and metal bayonet. Optically I honestly hoped for something more at very wide apertures as it turns out to be up to f2.8 a bit soft. Nothing serious but above all TA needs a bit of a push through posts to make it appreciable. From f2.8 it changes drastically and becomes a real blade. However, I believe that the selling price easily justifies those design flaws that I have detected.
