Comments about Pentax P-DA 40MM F2.8 Standard Lens:

great little lens. my first sample had a stiff focus ring which the camera could not turn...i could barely move it with my fingers. abe's replaced it,[...]this lens is all they say it is. perhaps not the sharpest but plenty sharp. it's all academic at this level. can't beat the tiny form factor. amazing build. i am now hooked. i'll be selling off other lenses to make room for and finance additional Limiteds.

sharpest pentax lens to date!
