Mine is utterly special. Its sharpness from F:4 to F:8 isn't surpassed by anything on sale. It's bokeh and 3D rendition is damned spacial too. Images look close to stereoscopic with this lens. It only weak point is wide open performance but it isn't really worse here than almost all other Pentax lenses. Pål
