Cons: The Clamp is a little finicky and the focus ring could have been a bit larger.
Pros: Sharp, 1:1 Magnification, Metal body and Lens column.
Summary: I use sticky manual focus but the few times I tried AF, it seems to work ok. Pentax AF seems to be generally indecisive. Sharp from the get go at f2.8 and very contrasty and the 1:1 macro ability is not something many 50mm macros can boast!

Cons: Slow and noisy autofocus, heavy lens
Pros: I own a second hand one in F version, non FA, which has identical lens configutration with a different outer shell.Built like a tank, amazing sharpness and color rendition
