I had already been using the Pentax SMC DA* Series 50-135mm f/2.8 ED IF SDM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Pentax and Digital SLR Cameras and Pentax SMC DA* Series 16-50mm f/2.8 ED AL IF SDM Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Pentax Digital SLR Cameras lenses regularly when I purchased the DA 40. I had a little bit of experience with the FA 50, but didn't really like it much, due to lack of contrast. I thought there was no way that I would become a "prime shooter."
Well, this lens changed that. It is tiny, easy to handle hold, even with one hand, incredibly sharp. Even though it is not very long, it can be used as a portrait lens. It has great edge to edge sharpness and amazing micro contrast. Build is very sturdy.
The two quibbles I have with this lens are that it only goes to f2.8 and that the screw on lens cap could be easily lost. I have put away my screw on cap and purchased a Adorama 30.5mm Plastic Snap-On Lens Capto replace it.
This is the perfect walk-around lens to turn you from a zoom shooter into a prime shooter!
