The 21/3.2 is a sufficient equivalent on a K10D or K100D unless you are shooting action or need the DoF of an f2 lens. Digital provides much better high ISO performance than film, particularly at ISO 1600 and SR gets you that stop back(or more).
I also find I can handhold any digital about 1 stop slower than I can with a film SLR, at least for lenses of 100mm and shorter. And there is a Sigma 20/1.8. It's a dog on full-frame, but is supposedly not bad (if massive) on cropped body digitals. -Adam Who will note that a 28/2 on a FF digital would be better than a 21/3.2 on DX format, but either does better than a 28/2 on film unless one needs the asthetic of fast B&W film.
