reviewswhat are people saying

"This is the best lens for Pentax. The combination Pentax K20-D with this lens is better then Nikon or Canon."

"It will be a 75mm in APS-C format, and great for portrait. The color rendition is much richer than my 43mm limited."

"It is a bit on the heavy side but that comes with the build quality."
