it's smaller than my Sigma 28/1.8 and the non-HSM model doesn't seem to have as many focus issues....

I can't say I noticed focus issues with my Art model, but I only use center focus point.

The newer Art series is sharper than the older model especially in the corners. LensRentals did some testing with multiple copies. But I'm sure the older version is capable of some fine pictures as well - and I think it's a bit smaller.

LOL probably half the internet has rolled its eyes at my rants

I think mine’s not the HSM. On the K30 focus hunted annoyingly sometimes; I’ll have to pay close attention to the AF when I do another SI month with it. Maybe July.

I'm using a (broken) Takumar bayonet 28/2.8 all month for the Single in June challenge. I'd say it and 35mm (both on APSC) are my favourite focal lengths.

I'm certainly having some fun already:

Normal is hard. When in doubt--bokeh!
(K35/3.5 probably at 3.5)

Little late in the month, but I just got my camera back. Only fixed WB, everything else is "as shot".

Here's the companion shot to my previous photo - taken from the opposite side. Super Tak 28/3.5 on *ist D:

Today was a garden day, needed to clean and repair some things. Took a moment to shoot this Triss Merigold

Without postprocessing, I dont want to risk it on workstation laptop without any calibration.

And a rosy company:
