Strength:
Image qualities, Sharpness, Build, focus feel in both MF and AF accuracy.
Weakness:
For film the hood is fine, For a Digital with the APS-C crop, the hood does not offer enough coverage/protection and is not removable. The only option would be a straight sided hood (hard to find) or stack filter rings 3 or 4 deep. Does the job but can look odd. Stow the lens cap in the box and get a pinch lens cap. For film a mid wide lens. On a D-SLR this is about a 'normal' focal length. So on today's cameras this is a very useful range and similar to what the 43mm would be on a film camera.
Customer Service Have only used Pentax service once in 26 years (and cause I dropped it) and owning over 100 products from Pentax. Solid gear and good customer service. Similar Products Used: 40mm, 43mm , 77mm, Limiteds, FA* & DA*. Too many other lenses to list, cameras from the K1000, LX, 6x7 and now digitals |

Strength:
All metal construction, markings are engraved, not stencils, and are made to last. The lens screams QUALITY!.
Weakness:
Very expensive, and the lens cap has a felt lining to hold it to the lens. But no law says you can't get a pinch-type regular lens cap. This lens is a moderate wide angle on film cameras, and functions as a normal lens on the *st D. It is well-made, in the style of the old metal lenses. Very sharp, great "bokeh". Customer Service Never needed it. Similar Products Used: Pentax MX with winder (2) K-1000, Canon T70 with all sorts of lenses, Contax screw mount cameras, Nikon F, etc.
