Cons: Lenscap not easily screwed on and off. Don't use the manual focus ring. It's to small.

Pros: Supersharp, no distortion at all. Great fun to use as standard lens, both on K-r and K5. Relatively cheap for such quality.

Summary: I love this lens!

Cons: Almost too small!

Pros: Unbelievably small--carry anywhere. Fast AF. Limited build quality. Great image quality, even wide open.

Summary: Great little lens. Can only complain about image quality if you also have the 35 LTD Macro--which is in a league of its own.

Cons: Not as fast as I would like. The hood is nice, but I replaced the cap with a Fuji film cap (wich fits nicely on the hood)

Pros: Outstanding image quality, with nice resolution and superb contrast; really small and light (so I always carry it in my bag) Look nice on the camera. A joy to use

Summary: I always carry on the lens.
