not much larger than a lens cap ...
I couldn't pass up the nice deal on this lens. It is extremely small and thin, and the autofocus is quite responsive. The image quality is good but not as good as a Pentax DA 40mm LTD, which I would recommend first. It's so small, care is needed unmounting it from the camera. I find it's safer if my DSLR is set to manual focus when removing. The lens cap is not very good - made of rubber and just snaps into place - easy to get lost. If you can find one cheap, go for it. Otherwise spend a little more for the DA 40LTD which is a better lens in my opinion.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Tiny lens but very sharp.
The DA 40mm XS has been bragged about ever since it came out and every compliment is true. It is sharp wide open but really sharp if you stop down a couple of stops. It makes an excellent portrait lens and is good for some aspects of landscape or architecture if you don't need a wide angle as this translates to 60mm in 35mm terms. I use it on the Pentax K-01 as it was designed for.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
