wide angle lens for k1 Sigma 15-30mm F3.5-4.5 DG AF vs Pentax HD DFA 15-30mm F2.8 ED

Dear all

I just got my k1 - first-time ff for me. I only have MF lens for wide angle at the moment, I have

Samyang 15mm 2.8

SMC Pentax 28mm F3.5 Shift

For AF lens I have

SMC PENTAX-DA 35mmF2.4 AL - it said for the crop but seems to work with ff

I am planning to use k1 mostly for landscape and walking around town things. I am looking for a wide-angle zoom lens with af. I see only two options available where I live:

Pentax HD DFA 15-30mm F2.8 ED SDM WR

and

Sigma 15-30mm F3.5-4.5 DG AF

I don't need the fast 2.8mm. is it worth going for that lens?

does the quality of the sigma any near the Pentax? I am sure it is not as good but is it enough? the Pentax cost 3x more than the sigma.

is there other option?

thank you all

thank you all
I am just wondering if any member did the comparison between those zoom lenses mentioned.

or for longer reach, should I just get a 70-300. I have a 150-500 sigma but am very slow to focus and too heavy to carry around.

Thank you all. I have the 18-135 for years with k70 and quite happy with the results but sometimes I need a quick reach.

How about the comparison with the nikon?

---------- Post added 12-02-2022 at 11:11 AM ----------


Ah I see. I just remembered that I got them together 😜.
I'm sure going to 18-270 the quality would be lower but hope still acceptable.

Dear all
I have Pentax K70 and a Nikon D500. I love them both equally. K70 is not the best APS-C camera but small enough and cheap enough for me to walk around the city at night ;);)

I never use or seen an all-in-one lens. I hear lots of good reviews about the Nikon 18-300mm VR f/3.5-6.3 DX AF-S G ED (I think It has a few versions). But I did not hear much about the Pentax.
How are they both compared? using with K70 and Nikon D500

Can the Pentax-DA 18-270mm F3.5-6.3 replace both the kit lens (18-135 and the 70-300 (like the Tamron AF Di LD Macro 70-300mm F4-5.6))?

Thank you all

by the way, I just notice that, it is hard to get wide angle lens for Pentax. Which one do you use?

For example, nikon has Sigma 14mm f/1.8 Art, Nikon 16-35mm f/4 or more fancy Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8

I think for Pentax we have HD PENTAX-D FA 15-30mmF2.8
I have Samyang 14mm f/2.8 for Pentax for now :). work quite well on my ricoh film camera

Is there any other option for Pentax?

wo. 3k for a print :fedup: u must be very good. could you show some work? do u have a website
to be honest, I feel like 24mp apsc is quite enough but somehow I want a ff. I belive, mostly, I don't enjoy the crop factor when doing landscape or just my silly head

thank you. at the moment, I don't really print very big often. it is the feeling to have to incase I need to print big :):) and also my curiosity. Long ago, I used to have an old canon ff (5dII ) I have to say at that time, I see better quality pictures compared to my APSC camera. I am not sure about modern times now :o

sorry could you explain more about the internal graduated filters?



I will investigate this topic. It is hard to find a comparison between the two lens from two brand. I normally go to DXO to see which lens is rated higher but recent lens, they are mostly Sony and for mirrorless.


Thank you for sharing. I just notice it is not a big different between mk1 and mk2 of the k1, I can save quite a large amount by getting k1 mk1. Would you see a big different between the two? About the pixel shift, I believe we can do it in pts? And I think mk1 also has pixel shift?



I have only a few cheap lens from Pentax
The kit lens 18-135 with K70
28 2.8 50 1.7 old lens
35 F2 newer AF lens
100mm macro Pentax
Sigma APO DG OS HSM 150-500mm F5-6.3
They are cheap enough for me now that I can sale them easy to change the system if needed.
And Nikon
D500 + kit lens 17-55 f2.8 (is it a kit lens?)
Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2
35mm G 1.8

And few old Mamiya 645 lens, I have adapter to pentax for landscape or macro shoots.

the k1 ii in Vietnam (where I am living now) actually cost the same as the D850. The pentax lens is hard to find but would not be a big issue.

Dear all

I'm looking for a still camera mostly for landscape.


I currently have D500 + 150-600mm for birds and am happy with it. I also have the 17-55mm 2.8 as it comes from the previous owner but I have no intention to keep it long. I have K70, I got it long ago when it was introduced with a kit lens Pentax-DA 18-135mm. I have a few other Pentax lenses but not a high-end one.

I plan to keep D500 for birds and get a camera for landscape. What do you think about Pentax K1 II vs Nikon D850? it may sound silly to have to cameras from two brands in the bag but I would not have any common lens to share between them.

I have to agree. Even i love using pentax in the last 10 years, the price of the k3iii is hard for me to move that way.

Well, i am sure the da* 300 mm is great.


It is a bit confusing for me to pick a system. Thank you all for sharing

---------- Post added 05-01-2021 at 04:23 PM ----------



I see. I feel like i want to buy something not because i need it but more or less as i was advertised the mirrorless sysfem af system and feel a bit outdated with the dslr.

Well, but it may worth to try around. I feel like i close my mind with pentax for so long

Wo thank you all. It is great to hear your sharing.

I have to say it is a bit confusing for me as this will be a big purchase.

At the beginning, i was impressed by advertising in mirrorless camera tracking system.
But then some say the dslr tracking actually work the same in high end camera.

I see that camera does not matter... But i have to say sometimes, i wish i have the af a bit faster to get a moment right. Or just more frame per second.

About the k3iii, it is a bit over budget as i plan to stay under £1k for used body. But it is manageable of i keep the old 150-500 sigma lens.

Uhm, shouls i upgrade lens or camera body? I also hear that the sigma 60-600 is not available in Pentax 📸😭
