Being a prime lens it is small and light weight and more so as it is mostly plastic. However, build quality is good and image quality also; particularly having regard to its price. I bought it for the times when wishing to avoid carrying a large heavy zoom lens and believing that if necessary it is often possible to "zoom with your feet". The larger aperture available is also a plus. Being the equivalent of the "normal" 50mm lens it gives the pleasing perspective natural to the human eye. Auto focus is fast and accurate. Overall, a good complementary lens to have in your bag.
Absolutely great value, well made budget lens. I have found sharp across all apertures on Full-Frame (FF) and is also exhibits excellent contrast. The lens optics are based on a highly regarded (and high end) Pentax lens, so the performance always going to be great. These great optics are housed in an all polymer - including mount body, that could have been executed terribly, but Pentax has as usual not skimped on design and assembly quality. Manual focus is very pleasing indeed. A big advantage of the polymer body is light weight. I am using this lens on FF and also Film cameras.

About an hour after I tried this lens, it became my favourite. Crazy sharp even at f2.4, lighter than any of my other lenses, fast focus, great aperture. The perfect lens.

As i had two lenses that would not do what I was hoping this was indeed far better than expectations and has taken some terrific photo's particulary of plants.
