Lots of lovely great images!

I wonder if anyone have compared this lens to the sigma 50/2.8... I own the latter, do not own the Pentax. I do love the Sigma, and I see the images here and just reallly wonder.

Some sort of Scottish Thistley thing...

If you own the Sigma 50 Macro and love it, I'm not sure you really need the Pentax — unless you're into collecting 50mm macros. Virtually all 50mm macros are sharp. The Pentax A 50 Macro, in addition to being very sharp, does feature really nice color and bokeh — but it only provides 1:2 magnification.

Another A 50 Macro shot:

Great shots... They might be quite similar afterall, the Sigma does go 1:1... the Pentax I find to be warmer (based on the shots in this thread) in a good way.

I could get used to this lens...

I need to figure out DOF at 2.8 - super narrow up close, but some portraits taken at about 8 feet, are more forgiving.
