It's very good optically and quite solid for a mostly plastic lens. I
don't think you' ll be disappointed.

Done- I found one on ebay for the princely sum of $25, including shipping.
Considerably cheeper than other auctions. Hope it works... Not out much either
way.
The Pentax Forum review of the FA 50mm 1.7 looks pretty interesting, any
opinions?

I have a different suggestion.
Get yourself a Pentax F 35-70mm. It is inexpensive because it is
plentiful (being the kit lens on earlier AF Pentax film cameras. But
it is a good lens in its own right and has a macro/closeup function
that is very useful. It is not a fast lens, but great for daytime
stuff. Use it for a while and then look at the EXIF data and see if
there is a focal length that you use more commonly than the others.
Using that information, you can narrow your selection down on the
appropriate (faster) Limited prime, should you so desire.

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthily search.
