Now this is byfar one of the sharpest lenses in the telephoto range if not the sharpest that I have used and is probably the cheapest (my paid price) one of my kit. Bought it for $10 from a guy selling a K2 and had no idea what it was. The bokeh is beautiful and I swear it out resolves my K-5's sensor at f5.6. The focus throw is nice and long allowing easier focus and its nice f1.8 aperture is quick for nice night stuff. Overall beauty of a lens and for the price I paid its probably the best bang for my buck. Just an amazing lens!

I have to give this lens a 10 because for the insane price I paid, I have one of my sharpest lenses, and a nice telephoto. It handles well with a nicely dampened focus ring, and is very nice to use with live view or VF. Optics must be nice on this because I get pin sharp results on the K-5 when using macro tubes and taking floral shots. Only issue with it is the coating as it isn't SMC but that's fixable by using an external hood(the one attached doesn't go out far enough) and a nice UV filter. I find that combo to pretty good when shooting towards the light. Overall I have to recommend this lens because it is sharp, easy to use, and fairly cheap for a high quality tele.
