Cons: Can be slightly dark in the corner but that's not a problem in this day and age.
Pros: Very small and light but also great build quality, Love the lens hood with the polariser window, Its weather proof and the SMC coating is easy to wipe dry in the rain.
Summary: Great if you own a Pentax.

Cons: Canīt think of any :-)
Pros: Astonishing build and optical quality bearing in mind the low price.
Summary: I first bought this lens in kit for back-up purposes only and currently stays attached to the body most of the time. Resolution is well above average (I should say near excellent at all focal lenghts from f5.6 onwards. The (very) little bit of chromatic aberration that may be noticeable on corners of very large prints is almost 100% corrected by the K-7 software. Same comments for the low distortion in the short focal lenght end. I am really please with this lens.
