I have a Sigma 20/1.8. I like it a lot better on full frame than I did
on APS. On APS it alternated between being brilliant and annoying. On
the K-1 it is a much more interesting range. I now have the 15-30/2.8
and the Samyang 24/1.4 (albeit manual focus) so it is on the list of
lenses that I'm thinking of selling. One nice thing about it though is
that it focuses down to 1:2 magnification, so it can be very nice for
close flower shots when you want a fairly wide field of view of either
the flower or the background.
Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM Lens for Pentax - New $899.00 (sold by Amazon.com)
http://tinyurl.com/Sigma-35-f1-4
This was close to the top of the list of lenses I wanted for APS. On
the K-1 that slot is filled with the 50/1.4. I still want it, but it's
not so critical.
I'm looking for a fast, wide lens that will work on the K1 full-frame.
Anyone chime in if they know anything I should be aware of *OR* BEWARE OF
about either the lenses or the sellers.

Maybe Amazon has generated the sale just for me based on my searches...

Amazon is actually one of the leaders (if not THE leader) of producing
the suggestions of the "related" products (to those that you've looked
at).
It's actually one of the strategies for the search when you have only
a vague idea of the object you are trying to find (buy): you search
for something that is sort-of close. Then you look at what's related.
By clicking on the suggestions that are closer to what you are looking
for, you generate even closer suggestions.
I am not seeing any particular sale for Pentax anything on Amazon...

I remember reading about Zubaz, (pants), but had no idea what exactly
they were, so I did a search on Google...
Now Amazon keeps trying to sell them to me, at least once a week.
To keep this on topic, Amazon is also having a sale on Pentax Glass,
and Amazon has also notified me about that as well.
It seems, to me at least, that Amazon email marketing is just slightly
more focused than cold calling names out of a phone book.
