Those are big improvements.

This forum should get over it.
There's a lot of things this forum should get over.
I'm curious, why would I buy the 50 1.4 instead of the 55 1.4? After all, a longer lens with the same aperture gives you more control of DoF? What do you suppose is the reason they made this so big?
Is there some thing going on in the market where people think given a smaller lens and a bigger lens, people should always buy the bigger one? This looks like the Sigmatization of Pentax.
