  • Excerpt: I wish the AF was faster. Someone from the Canikon AF engineering divisions needs to be cherry picked by Pentax. Other than that, what's not to like?
  • Pros: WR, sharpness, contrast, ergonomics, bokeh
  • Cons: AF isn't Canon fast

  • Summary: I have used this lens with my K-x, K10 & K20. This lens has a DA* (star) title, which supposed to be a performer. AF is fast & accurate, even on the K-x body.
  • Pros: light, compact, silent, fast AF, fast f/2.8, weather sealed
  • Cons: build quality.. could be sturdier
