This is a wonderful lens, compact, sharp, with a very nice image quality. I used to use this one for landscapes and portraits and on film it is perfect for that.
As regards digital I have not tried it, so you would have to see how it behaves. I see no reason why it shouldn't be excellent.
As for price, they tend to fetch very good prices, so that tells us that people want them!

I have the A version of this lens and as John says its very compact and sharp.
I used it a few times on my K100D and it gave excellent results, I haven't used it for a while now as I prefer AF (old eyes)
I paid AU$260 for it.
An M version sold here last week for AU$162 link
