This lens is pretty good for a travel lens. The AF DC motor is very fast and silent, really does a great job. The lens is very small, almost the same size as a 35mm/2.4 plastic fantastic or a 50mm/1.4 I like the locking system is very useful. Definetly is a major improvement over the old 18-55 DA-L. https://www.pentaxforums.com/gallery/images/93500/large/1_IMGP0016-20210527.jpg

For 150euro this lens is awesome. It is made from plastic, but a good quality one. It is very light, very small and does an excellent job. Sharp, great bokeh at 2.8 and very nice colours. I also own Pentax DA 16-50 f2.8 and even the 35mm is 5 times cheaper, it ca be compared with the 16-50/f2.8 at 35mm focal legh. I can say is a great lens for holiday when you want a light camera on your shoulder that could take awesome pics. I have attached some photos. https://www.pentaxforums.com/gallery/images/93500/large/1_IMGP4231-20180813smc_PENTAX-DA_35mm_F2.4_AL.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/gallery/images/93500/large/1_IMGP3079.jpg

Maybe i was expecting more from this lens if i put in balance the price i paid. I tested this lens on Pentax K-5 II and Pentax K-5 IIs , but honestly i don't know what to say. For the price i paid i was expecting more. Cons: - Chromatic aberration at f/2.8 and f/3.2. I got less chromatic abberation on a cheap Tamron 18-200/f3.5-6.3 - Lazy focus. I was expecting more from a SDM - the hood is a litle bit larger. If you use this lens for holidays, is a little bit bigger with the hood on. Pro: - Great optics after f/4 - Sharp - Nice bookeh - Bright - Great colours - very good in details - Solid and high quality construction So, if you can buy this lens with less than 500euro, go for it. It is a great lens for all around/travel. Is much more better than Tamron 17-50/f2.8 and sigma 17-50/f2.8. It captures some details that only on full frame you can see. I also attached some pics, straight from the camera. https://www.pentaxforums.com/gallery/images/93500/large/1_IMGP4047.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/gallery/images/93500/large/1_IMGP4010.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/gallery/images/93500/large/1_IMGP3713.JPG
