Positive aspects of the product (pros): accurate colours, big maximum aperture, high quality
Cons: You get hooked on it!

The best lens Pentax ever made for glamour photography (to my opinion). Perfect colours, as well in my studio as outdoors. I bought this lens for my MZ-s, but now I'm also using it digital with very satisfying results. The price is low for a lens like this. F/1.8 at 77 mm. gives a nice, small field-of depth. The quality is very good at all apertures.
