Highly recommended. I'm a semi-pro and have used this lens for a couple of weddings, birthday parties, and general photography etc over the past year and a half. After renting twice, I decided to buy. It excels indoors where my 50mm is too tight and the DA 18-55mm II lags. It also pairs well with my DA 55-300mm.
In good light, it's about a step above the 18-55 with less distortion at the short end. In low light, it's about two steps above with a constant aperture. That's important when you're shooting manual, focused on capturing the moment/scene, and switching between the wide and short ends.
I'd love to own a bag of Pentax limited primes - 15, 21, 35, and 40 - and in time I may. For now, I have the next best thing for the money and I don't have to change lenses to cover that range.
Here's a recent shot that has been post processed a little.
