I enjoy this lens immensely for its image quality, versatility, and build quality. Some brief pros and cons after using it for a few weeks: Pros -Razor sharp and nice color rendering. -1:1 macro makes it a great choice for a walk-around lens at this focal length. -1:1 macro at 35mm is easier to hand-hold than longer macros in terms of shutter speed, and the wider angle works well for some subjects (IMO the subject isolation you get from longer macros can look too sterile at times). -Made out of metal. -Has quick shift. Cons -Long throw from macro ability can cause focus hunting, especially when going between close subjects and infinity. Not a big deal if you use quick shift. -Danger of bumping the front element against your subject at 1:1. Use a UV filter or other protective filter. -Front cap falls off easily. -No aperture ring.Read full review

Wow I love the sharpness of this 35mm len. It sweet spot starts above 3.2, I get blurry shots at 2.8. I had to set len corrections to -2. The sharpness of this len on my K3 is razor sharp. I also have a Pentax Kiis and let me tell you this 35mm is awesomely sharp across all apertures with camera default setting only on my Kiis. I love the vivid color rendered by this len. I have not had any problem with purple fringes, CA or vignette on either camera. The Pentax DA 35mm Limited is worth a try if you're using a Pentax camera body. I thing you will love it. "Shoot the darned thing!"
