Yes, an excellent performer. It would be great if Pentax would just fit it with a DA lens mount. (Same for the FA43 Limited.) I'd buy these two lense again if they did that, although I'd prefer an 28mm f/ 2 replacement. Meanwhile, the FA28/2.8 and FA43/1.9 have replaced the use of the FA35/2 and FA50/1.4 in my lens kit.
