My experience with Sigma lenses? From about 1/2 year the marvel, Sigma 17-70mm/f2.8-4 HSM non OS is a perfect one lens (I had post my good impressions about at its place, immediate followed by 2 bad impressions for lowering the score (yes, this is a Penty place, don-t lower this marvel )). My second impression is with Sigma 30mm/f1,4 for Penty (K5, ehehe- Silver but with pearls on the sensor
). This one need +2 fine focus adjustment to be a perfect one from f1.4. But this perfection is erratic, about 15-25% of photos had spurious focus, not in zones of my expectations. Hellas, I want-t to send it back! But I-m not a pro and this perfection blur and sharp from f1.4 and exquisite from f2.0 make me hesitate. And I re-discover Live View and this made from this lens, a perfect one, and I don-t need FA 31mm. But retain, I have the marvel FA 77mm/f1,8 and this one is not more sharp (only more contrast-but this can be improved in p.p.) at f1.8 face to Sigma 30mm at f1.4. The ratio quality/price is unbeatable on this lens and the new (superficial=cosmetic) line of Sigma lenses had one single intention: the rise of prices. I give up to Pentax lenses (new, but now even the old ones have a new up-price) and I have migrated to this Sigma lenses. Now, by-by, all Penty and Sigma lenses. My Sigma 17-70mm and Penty 55-300mm covers all my daily needs. And for the cat eyes I have Voigtlander 58mm/f1.4(manual focus) , Sigma 30mm/f1.4 and Penty FA 77mm/f1,8. There is enough subjects to explore with this technologies in an entire life. If this toys can leave with me, but I don-t think so.
