Quote: Also, why FA 50 2.8 instead of Sigma 50 1.4? They're pretty much the same price and Sigma is much faster, already sharp wide open (based on reviews) and has HSM.
For me it's all about getting it done, and being able to carry it.
Tessfully and I "share" lenses and bodies, so, the K-5 and the Tamron 90- macro are pretty much hers. I don't have a good sharp macro lens. The 50 is small enough to fit nicely in my bag and go every where, fill the 50 mm "must have" gap in the lenses listed, and provide me with a nice sharp macro lens.

Hey don't get me wrong, that's what I'd like to get. Whether or not things play out so I actually end up with it is another issue.
The K-5 IIs and the 28-75 are pretty much decided, after that, a lot of things can happen.
