You'd be hard pressed to take a shot like this with the DA 35mm/2.4...

Thanks for all the responses. I'm still mulling it over. It seems I change my mind every few hours. I think at this point if I can find the limited at a reasonable price I may get that otherwise I'll be happy to get the 2.4.

Don't let the long focus travel put you off.
You can use the Quick-Shift to help it out.
Just make sure your focus point is aimed
at a contrasty part of the image.

I have both the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 and the Pentax DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited.

The Sigma can't deliver this kind of shot whereas the DA can:

You're meant to recycle the can, not the photo!

Ha, ha, you're just pathetic... pity you can't back up your hypothesizing bullshit here. OK here's another from the DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited for you.
