I decided to run some tests on both lenses to see how they compare. The focal length on both appear different. Possibly because the Pentax is actually 52mm? Bokeh looks almost identical on both. The Pentax is really not that sharp at 1.8. I'll run a few more tests and post pictures comparing the two.
However, the Pentax does seem like a keeper.
Thanks

Hey guys,
New to the forum and new to Pentax. Decided to sell all my Nikon gear and pulled the trigger on a new to me platform by picking up a K3 from B&H. The battery grip and 50mm lens in a package with the camera really solidified my decision. At the time, B&H had a nice sale on the Sigma 17-50mm 2.8 so I picked one of those as well for the obvious reasons. However this got me thinking if it is worth keeping the 50mm as the sigma, although the slower lens, already covers that focal length. I went through a lot of my photos to find that I actually rarely shoot at 50mm. 80% of my shots were on the wide end (marketing, advertising, promoting, modified car shoots, modeling and rarely some portrait shots). The Pentax lens is fast, loud, sharp and light. The sigma is sharp, heavy and covers wider focal lengths.
What's your take on both lensesat 50mm and is the nifty worth keeping?
Thanks in advance!
