Pentax AF160FC vs Sigma EM-140 DG

I did a little searching on PF for these, but the discussion was several years old.

Does anyone have experience using the Sigma?
Is there any advantage to paying the extra for Pentax?

For macro I do a variety of things. Bugs, flowers, mushroom, fungi and more. But mostly outside stuff.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
George

The genuine ring flash fits nicely instead of the hood of DFA100 or DFA50.
If you are not using these lenses, you may be happier with Sigma...

Then you may like the fact that Sigma 140DG flash supports HSS. Or buy Metz 15 MS-1 ring flash, that one is even cheaper.
