great optical performance

Cons:
|
expensive
|

I was initially a bit afraid ofthe focal length on digital, but this lens proved to be very useful companion for APS-C camera. I can rely on it's optical performance on any setting from f2 up to f22.
Pictures are always well focused and sharp with no CA apparent and free of flare or ghosting. It is quite useful for close-up's as well, but there the hexagonal aperture may render unpleasant bokeh sometimes.
In use it is very practical, you can reverse it for macro as it has the aperture ring and the lens shade is easy to use with lens cap or polarizer.
I don't regret the money spent on this one.

Pros:
|
Usable focal length, light, fast, good IQ
|
|
Cons:
|
bokeh
|
|
This lens is fast and with good sharpness from f2, even in borders. It is in my opinion lightweight. Even though not the most solid lens built it is tough enough 
Since Pentax also has a 40mm Ltd and now a 35mm macro, this one seems forgotten. IQ on this one is just as good as the 40mm Ltd, so this is the right choice if the advantage it offers with an extra stop is important

Cons:

This is a good lens for travelling light. It is small, well built and I've not seen any flare, it has very low distortion and practically no CA. Wide open it is very usable, the corners are less sharp but the center is already very good at F2. From F4 the whole image is very sharp.
