Pre-weekend bump.

This thread may be of interest - it has some samples and was what inspired me to get one in the first place.

I think that it depends on when/where you would use it.

It looks like a very good lens and if you need/would like something compact and you like the 21mm focal length I'd say it's a good choice. The metal body and limited build quality will be nice, too. I'd suggest having a look at some samples and seeing whether you like them.

Personally, I've considered one and I'm not sure what I'd use it for. I generally prefer longer focal lengths and, whilst it's very subjective, I haven't been blown away by samples from the DA21 in quite the same way as, say, those from the DA15 or FA77.

If you can stretch to it the Sigma II 24mm seems to be a good
lens for around £70.
The Sigma is a nice lens and compared well to some more exotic options in a very unscientific test I did here; I'd also recommend a Kiron made Vivitar 24mm f/2 (serial nubmer starting with 22) over the Sigma if you can find one at a reasonable price.

Vivitar 28mm f2.8 mf lenses - serial numbers beginning with 28
I've got a spare one of those if it's of any interest (it's the Komine-made close focus variant)

I'm having a clear out of some of my lenses to make space and raise funds for my next round of LBA.

For sale is my Tamron 18-250. It's in excellent condition, although not quite mint as it has one or two specks of internal dust and has an aftermarket lens hood. It's optically identical to the Pentax 18-250.

The optics are in good shape, with no scratches, marks or fungus (the dust mentioned previously is normal for a lens of the age and nothing that would affect the pictures). Cosmetically it's in very good condition, as shown in the pictures.

It is supplied with the original box, front and rear caps and aftermarket lens hood (I don't know whether the original hood was an option or people just lose them, but I've also had a Pentax 18-250 which was missing its hood and seen several others advertised without hoods).

Looking at the going rate on eBay, I think that £180 delivered within the UK is reasonable and I'd be happy to investigate postage options to send it further afield if required. Payment preferably by bank transfer please.
