I like it, within it's limitations. It has a fixed aperture of f:8. It has a donut shaped bokeh that sometimes works very nice.
On my K30, I do get focus confirmation.
It is not as sharp as I would like, but it works in some cases. Like all tools, it is up to me to decide when it is appropriate, or when another tool would work better.
