Hi All,
Which portrait prime should I buy with my K-x?
- Oh, to some I maybe should also consider the SMC Pentax DA*55mm F1.4 DSM, but that is for me too expensive, I don't see need for WR and I don't include my fathers SMC Pentax 50 mm F1.4 (probably a "M" and not an "A") either...
So I want to list up all the pros/cons and value those aspects to make a decision. Of course in the end this is a personal choice, but I envite you to provide feedback!!!
My intended application:
- (Candid) Portraits of my two young daughters, both "glamour" and during "low light" parties.
- Most pictures will be shared on internet based on out-of-camera JPG, but the even more important few of course deserve some RAW based post processing.
Pro Sigma
- Faster and more robust AF
- Better IQ / brokeh, especially fully open
- Build quality
Pro Pentax
- Cheaper
- Smaller
- In-camera corrections for JPG
Value per aspect
- Price (10 points)
- IQ / Brokeh fully open (9 points)
- AF speed and robustness (8 points)
- Size (7 points)
- Build quality (6 points)
- In-camera corrections for JPG (5 points)
Conclussion
- Sigma: 23 Points - Winner
- Pentax: 22 Points
Should I just pay extra, carry more and go for the Sigma 50 mm F1.4 EX DG HSM?
