Sibling to the DA40 pancake, the lens is pretty small. Built quality, just like the DA40 or any Pentax Limited lens, is superb. The all metal construction felt sturdy, with no wobbly parts that shake or rattle. The focus ring, -the best yet out of all of my autofocus lenses- is a lot better than the DA40 with a dampened feel that together with the Quick-Shift Focus System makes manual focusing a breeze.

Naturally, given it’s focal length, the use of this lens will be portrait photography. Such as these :)
