Cons: Wide open, the contrast in the image centre is good but not very good, and in the corners, contrast and resolving power are low. However, stopping down quickly imrpoves the performance.
Pros: Extreme maximum aperture. Very good image quality from f2, near perfect from f2.8. Outstanding build quality. Quite compact.
Summary: Wonderful build quality, very good but not perfect optics.

Cons: Need to have split screen focusing screen to focus precisely. Working with either stock focusing screen or by focus confirmation light/beep is still a gamble.
Pros: Wonderful rendering. By far my most favorite lens. Excellent for selective focus portraiture. Just as good for other kinds of shooting.
Summary: The fastest lens Pentax ever made. Great value for money.
