A little Pentax love von

Rrecently I have been using my Canon 5D in most cases. Today I grabbed my K5 for a exhibition visit, taking only my two favorite focal lengths with me (24/50; 35/80ish in fullframe terms). The Pentax body is just awesome - size, buttons, ergonomics. Everything is where its meant to be, especially with gloves. The stabilization is extremely useful, and I realized how much I have missed it. Same goes for noise-performance.
I wish I could drop the 5D. However, there are two main reasons I want to keep it, though I don’t own the latter, yet:
- a fast 35mm prime
- a 24mm TSE
I’d be fine with the DA*55mm instead of a 85mmF1.8, so no worries here. Does anyone have experiences with the
Sigma 24mmF1.8?
Btw.: This was an exhibition of Margarete Bourke-White. She was truley a gifted photographer. Seeing those pictures, I realized two things:
- Talent beats equipment - use your eyes and inspiration
- Black and white means black and white! A black and white picture is meant to have real blacks and real whites….
