Originally posted by wlachan The Sigma Super Wide II 24/2.8 was a gem that beats any Pentax 24mm. Pity it was poor on flare control and built quality. Mine was the manual focus and I remember the drop in image quality when switched to the FA*24. It was that good.
I'm sorry to hear you had bad copy of FA*24.
I used to own Sigma 24/2.8 mini wide II AF, and K24/2.8 and now FA*24. And no way Sigma was better than any of those two Pentax lenses. It might be tad sharper at f2.8 but the contrast, colours and flare resistance (or lack of it) were pretty horrid IMO. It's not a bad lens, especially for the size of it but nothing much to write home about IMO...
