Would the pentax at f2.8 be noticeably better that the sigma at 50mm f2.8?. Also some people say they like soft portrait shots and thats fine but I can use photo shop to do that if needed.

I got a K-X kit back in December with the 18x55 and 55x300 lenses. Shortly after I got a Sigma 24-70 F2.8 ex lens for better low light shots and action shots at kids volleyball and basketball games and it works great. I have a few hundred dollars in my paypal account and was looking at the Pentax Smc 50mm f1.4 lens. The reviews of this lens are almost hard to believe "best lens ever" "if I only had 1 lens this is the one 1 would pick" etc etc. I do take alot of portrait shots.
Here is my ? Everyone says that the Pentax 50mm 1.4 is soft wide open and at f2.8 nice and sharp. Isn't the main reason to get this lens the large f1.4 am I missing something, why would I get a expensive f1.4 lense and stop it down to say f2.8 so it's sharp I paid for the f1.4 to let in lots of light, my Sigma can shoot f2.8 at 50mm and the images look great. Would the Pentax f1.4 lens be WOW thats a better photo. Am i missing something. I do understand Boken and how aperture afects it.
Thanks.:rolleyes:
