Originally posted by zestoi guess I should wait to see if they release a new 85mm art on pentax then. I don't *need* the sigma 85mm as I've got the FA* one but I'm still soooooo tempted to pick it up...
I had this same dilemma back in may. I asked my self these two questions
1) What would I want to see updated on the current sigma 85mm? My answer was, not much. The 85 mm is already a very good lens. Maybe WR but sigma doesn't do that. Sigma traditionally removes the OS feature from k-mount varients.
2) If/When sigma comes out with an "Art" version of the 85mm, will they offer it in the K-mount? Given Sigma's recent rhetoric...it's very possisble they won't.
With that in mind, I decided to buy the current one.
