I'm actually in love with this lens...

I've had my FA28 for just less than 4 days...

I absolubtly LOVE it!!

I've not been this excited over my K-x for ages!!

I've had a couple of manual 28's and knew I liked the focal length, but didn't get on with the lenses but I'm totally hooked on this lens!!

I went out today with a stripped down kit in a small bag and the FA28 stayed on all day! I can't see me using the Tamron for a while (and wide open the FA28 is considerably sharper than the tammy!!)

Yesterday I took some portrait shots of my housemates using it that came out really nice too!

I'm gushing, but I really do like it!

Any regular users?

Seconded! I've got a nice copy of this lens too (Thanks Nick!), and 'tis a keeper.
PS - your second housemate looks like Chris Martin of Coldplay!
