That's disappointing.

With the K-1 I would expect Sigma will announce the 24-105 F/4 and the 50mm F/1.4 ART in K-mount. Those are 2 lenses that should sell well. I also hope to see the new Tamron 35mm, 45mm, & 85mm primes in K-mount by the end of the year.

At least the 35 Art is available... for my shooting style, I'd skip the 50 if it was offered, but with regrets since it is the sharpest lens Sigma has right now.

Not only enormous sharp, like the 35/1.4 [Art] it has a wonderful smooth bokeh too.

I have it, and it's great. The colours aren't as nice as my FA35/DA35 and it's big but it's sharpity sharp sharp and f1.4 is fun. ☺

Yes, f/1.4 is fully useful. I own the FA 31 Ltd. too, but this needs f/2.4 for equivalent performance. The Size is okay, big is the 18-35/1.8 [Art].
