These three are all from Rome's cathedral (not St Peter's basilica) with the Sigma 17-50/2.8. I've found it produces quite acceptable results in dark spaces, handheld with the aperture wide open or almost so.

Thanks. I'm still getting through photos for PPing and uploading to Flickr, that always takes me a while. The challenge is to do it before the next trip.

I just bought a used Sigma 28mm 1.8 EXDG Macro. Took delivery on it today and I am pumped. KEH listed the condition as excellent, cosmetically it looks mint.Tomorrow I will pixel peep it with shots of a brick wall and a ruler type auto focus test; today I am going to shoot with it!

Man this lens looks nice and to me it is balanced perfectly weight wise with My K1. It does not feel heavy at all.

I got out and took a few shots. It was late afternoon and the lighting was harsh so no keepers. Auto focus is acceptable but for tripod use not really needed. I did the ruler test. Back and front focus is acceptable. I may tweak it a little. The brick wall test showed the corners a little soft at 1.8 and 2.8; but from 5.6 to 16 everything looks great, I won't be returning it.

This is going to be my everyday lens until I can save up for the new Pentax 50MM. It is snowing in Cincinnati right now; if it eases up by nightfall I may go out again. I love the feel of this lens on my K1. It may way a little over pound but it balances out perfectly.
