I have this lens, but I've only used it on film cameras (so far).

Pros:
Great image quality. Really, really good.
77mm filter size (well, I have 77mm filters for my 80-200 so...)
Solid, rugged construction

Cons:
Autofocus isn't too speedy (but still OK)
Switching from AF to MF is a pain
More prone to flare than Pentax lenses

Overall: A great lens for the money.
