I couldn't pass up the nice deal on this lens. It is extremely small and thin, and the autofocus is quite responsive. The image quality is good but not as good as a Pentax DA 40mm LTD, which I would recommend first. It's so small, care is needed unmounting it from the camera. I find it's safer if my DSLR is set to manual focus when removing. The lens cap is not very good - made of rubber and just snaps into place - easy to get lost. If you can find one cheap, go for it. Otherwise spend a little more for the DA 40LTD which is a better lens in my opinion.

The DA 40mm XS has been bragged about ever since it came out and every compliment is true. It is sharp wide open but really sharp if you stop down a couple of stops. It makes an excellent portrait lens and is good for some aspects of landscape or architecture if you don't need a wide angle as this translates to 60mm in 35mm terms. I use it on the Pentax K-01 as it was designed for.

Very small and light, goes very well on my Pentax k-5. Focus speed is fantastic, and makes a very small and portable camera setup. The only problem are the rubber lens cap and it does not come with lens shade.
Great walk around lens for story telling. Does awesome close ups as well. Very fast to focus and snap the pic.
