This lens is wonderful for scenic work and minor macro shots. I like the size and wieght which makes it easy to carry along with other lens. It's a fixed 35 mm lens not a zoom, but with it's macro capabilities you don't have to switch lens if you see something that interest you close at hand. I was able to use this lens the whole day without changing it. I am quite satisfied using it and keep it at my side for medium wide angle shots and simple closeups. I recommend this for it's clear overall center to edge sharpness and it's color capture.
The good: affordable, lightweight, excellent build quality, excellent image quality, fast focus. The bad: Unlike my 50-200, in order to focus manually, I need to first switch to manual focus on the camera body instead of simply just rotate the focusing ring so its a bit inconvenient. I would like to take off half a star, but since there isn't half a star I gave it 4 stars rather than 5.

I’ve kit WR ED lens 18-55mm that came w/ my k50, but I like to photograph in darkness environments (after sunset) and I needed faster lens, but HD or other prime lens is very expensive. So after research in Pentax Forum, I choose this lens and I like very much of results , greats pictures at night w/ low ISO and excellent contrast.

Sharp images but autofocus system is quite noisy and slow performance.

Ultra light weight lens with very close up focus range, makes it possible to shoot on most of the situation. Colors are very vivid, images are sharp even at widest aperture. Although aperture is only F2.4, it also handles low light quiet well though. Plastic mount is probably the only down side to this lens, but focus ring is very smooth and accurate. It gives manual focus a pleasure to use.
Exceeded expectations…the colors…the sharpness…just the best

Great versatile, low-light lens. Fast, very sharp lens, perfect indoors, especially in low-light when you don't want to have the harsh light of a flash. Also offers high quality, outdoor photos At 35mm its equivalent to 52mm on a camera with an APS-C sensor. Bought this on ebay, new, from Adorama at $40 less than available in stores. You can't beat the price.
Great lens for the money - lightweight, with clear image. Using it with K-5 IIs. Nice lens for "walking around."

Very affordable and sharp F2.4 lens very fast and has a good build quality. The photos are sharp and makes good looking photos. A bit noisy in focusing but other then noise the photo quality is great for the money.
