Friend of mine bought one. It's huge and heavy. Haven't seen any results with it yet. G On Oct 23, 2006, at 5:44 PM, Collin R Brendemuehl wrote: > Sigma 30/1.4 for Pentax! > http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home? > O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=433041&is=REG&addedTroughType=search

The fellow who writes 400tx.blogspot.com posted some results with the 30/1.4 and k100D a while back. Not bad, but not stunning either. -Adam Collin R Brendemuehl wrote: > Sigma 30/1.4 for Pentax! > http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=433041&is=REG&adde

Sigma 30/1.4 for Pentax! - Somewhere online there is a pretty good review showing it to be soft wide open, and soft at the edges until well stopped down. Sorry, I didn't bookmark it. Pentax is coming out with a DA 35. Some speculation is that it might be an F1.4. Joe -- PDML Pentax-Dis

RE: Anyone checked this out yet?

A 35/1.4 is such a perfect focal length/aperture combination. I've wanted such a lens from Pentax for years. Shel > [Original Message] > From: Joseph Tainter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: > Date: 10/24/2006 8:08:55 PM > Subject: Anyone checked this out yet? > >

Re: Anyone checked this out yet?

You would think. but all of the DA limiteds have been pancakes so far, leaving the DA and DA* lenses as fast non compact lenses, if I gambled that's the way I'd be betting. Joseph Tainter wrote: >More likely a strange aperture, and a bit slower, a f3.2 pancake or some >such. > >Alan Chan wrote:

Re: Anyone checked this out yet?

The 35 and 55 are indicated as DA's, not DA Limiteds. The only DA prime is certainly not a pancake, or slow for it's focal length (DA 14/2.8 of course). I'm hoping for a 1.4, but can live with an f2 example. -Adam P. J. Alling wrote: > You would think. but all of the DA limiteds have been pan
