Pros: Very sharp! very good micro contrast, flare resistent, low CA versatile range (replaces 3 primes), macro
Cons: rather heavy, MF, not the fastest lens
Sharpness: 10    Aberrations: 9    Bokeh: 9    Handling: 8    Value: 10    Camera Used: Pentax K-5   

As good as (3) primes in its focal range, therefore a versatile lens. Very (!) sharp center and corners at f5.6, center sharpness already excellent rating at 3.4. Very good micro contrast. Has the Zeiss 3-D rendering. Not the fastest lens, but I mainly use it outdoors for landscapes. Lower CA compared to other CZ lenses. Macro is a real bonus.
