Hi! I think you've convinced me. I am passing this one on. Unless of course just a few shots I've made with it come out astoundingly good. Then I will have to reconsider. But being able to see the distortion in the viewfinder of my ME Super makes me think that above possibility is rather remote.

Hi! I am given the opportunity to buy this lens for about $100 (in local currency ). It goes as follows: 1. I'd get circular polarizer and UV filter and also a hood for this lens. 2. The lens is K-mount with AF that works very find with MZ-5n that I could handle yesterday. Unfortunately the prev

Hi, I recieved my Sigma EX 24mm/1.8 just today. I can't comment on the optical quality yet (other than no distortion visible), but the mechanical side could be better. Focusing from 18cm to infinity in a quarter of a twist takes getting used to since I use only manual focusing gear. The focus i

Anybody has this lens? How good/bad is it? I'm tempted by the 24 mm, but I'm not sure about the quality. How is the manual focus? I'm thinking about buying either this Sigma or a FA 28/2.8 AL. Is the Pentax lens significantly better? I had these Sigma 24mm and 28mm few years back, both manual

Hi there, Anybody has this lens? How good/bad is it? I'm tempted by the 24 mm, but I'm not sure about the quality. How is the manual focus? I'm thinking about buying either this Sigma or a FA 28/2.8 AL. Is the Pentax lens significantly better? Thanks in advance. Regards, Łukasz ===
