Can't you get used DA 35mm f2.4 and DA 50mm f1.8 for the same price as a new Sigma 30mm? I even see a reasonably priced FA 50mm f1.4 in the forum marketplace, and the marketplace here is probably even safer than ebays. You can almost get a used FA 43mm limited for that price!
If you go with DA 35mm and DA 50mm, you get full compatibility, automation, Pentax colours, very sharp normal/wide angle, and a nice nifty fifty. Plus, both of them can be used on FF, down the road. Its not f1.4, but what good is f1.4 when you have AF problems, and weird triangular bokeh (old version)?
Now, true, 30mm sounds like a nice FoV, and f1.4 is attractive. But when my 35mm is not wide enough, I go for 21mm and wider anyway. And I use it almost always at f8, so if it was faster than f2.4, I wouldn't gain much
Oh and congrats on the K-S2. Looks like a really cool, capable camera!
