A 500/4 makes a nice portrait lens.
Now that's just plain mean.

Yep. I bought my 600 FA for wildlife photography and found it was much
better for other people to carry.
Send it on over. You'd be amazed how well I carry lenses. I promise to
return it in EXC (EXpertly Carried) condition the very moment my arms
get
Tamron 90/2.5 macro. Bought it as a Macro to replace the 90/2.8 AF
Macro I'd foolishly sold, ended up using it almost entirely as a
regular short telephoto (which it's brilliant at).

When I bought my sigma 20/1.8, the intention was to use it for indoor, low
light, dance photography. For various reasons, mostly involving manual focus,
it hasn't proven to be as good for that as I had hoped. On the other hand, I'm
finding it very handy as a wide angle macro lens. For

The same experience with the Sigma 30/1.4. I bought it to shoot indoors at wide
open aperture. Not very good. Much better outdoors at 5.6. Unfortunately, it's
big and heavy, and Pentax makes a 31 that is smaller and better wide open.
Right now, the 30/1.4 is a body cap for my K100.

What killed the Sigma 30/1.4 for me was the better noise processing in
Lightroom 3. I'd rather shoot at high ISO with the sweeter, lighter
Pentax primes and just live-with/fix-up the noise. -T

The K-5 might be better wit the Sigma 30/1.4. I may be able to get decent at
2.8 or 3.5 at higher ISO. But once you have the 28/2 Zeiss and 31/1.8 Pentax,
things go back to normal and better. The Sigma 30/1.4 seems like good choice
for the outdoor papparazi. Center forcuses well, but not te
