| Pros: | Sharp image good little wide angle prime | | Cons: | Can be a little soft wide open | |
I picked this lens up as a used lens. The glass was clear and the lens was in mint condition. It was one of the first Manual lenses I bought for my DL. I like the way it preforms. In shadowed light of fading light this lens can be a little soft wide open. Other then that most of my shots with this lens have been crystal clear, and Spot on for focus. This lens works well with any Pentax DSLR.

| Pros: | Reasonably priced on the used market, compact and lightweight, excellent image quality, only a wee bit soft at f/2.8. | | Cons: | Some vignetting but not dramtically so. | |
A good performing lens wide open becoming outstanding at f/4 and smaller apertures. If you have a choice between the 28/2.8 or the 28/3.5, if the price difference is reasonable then go for the f/2.8. If there is a big gap in the price go for the 28 f/3.5 because it too is an excellent performing lens if you don't need the additional speed.

I have this lens for the past 12 years. Has good color correction and always gave me sharp images. It works well so far on my K10D giving me 42mm. More testing required before I can pronounce judgment in a DSLR.
