Summary:
An excellent lens optically, and reasonably solid mechanically. The most useful focal length for general picture taking, and a very bright image because of its wide aperture.

Strengths:
Very sharp, good contrast. Relatively well damped manual focussing ring.

Weaknesses:
Like other Pentax autofocus lenses, it focusses past infinity in manual mode.
The front element is not recessed at all and can be easily damaged if used without its hood. The supplied hood is poorly made and has internal reflrections.
