This film era autofocus zoom lens, made by Pentax under the Takumar brand, is fully compatible and works great with newer Pentax digital SLR cameras. On a 35mm SLR camera, this lens covers a wide angle to short telephoto range. On a modern DSLR, it's equivalent to 42-120mm. The lens has good close focus capability with a macro setting, accessed by clicking the zoom ring just past the 80mm mark. Compared with newer kit level lenses, this one is a cut above in terms of handling, construction and performance.

This lens is great if you can get it cheap. Its role in my Pentax system is as a beater lens. Something I can throw on without worry. Optically this lens is ok, but that wasn't the intention of my purchase. It works perfectly for the role I gave it. If you are looking for a great affordable, manual lens, look to the M 50mm, f1.4.
