I'm really looking forward to the DFA 85/1.4. I have a Sigma 85/1.4 which I like, but I want something more comparable to the ART. I would love to see a DFA fast 35mm as well. At least give us a 1.8, though 1.4 is preferred.

I found a used one for $300, I ordered a Sigma dock with it. I can't find much information otherwise since the dock was released for Pentax so I'm going to report back in about a week.

I am considering buying this lens, but the focus seems abysmal. I am considering buying the ART dock. Does this fix the focusing issues on this lens?

Yup, unscrewed it and got it off, now it's off and working!

I have a Yongnuo YN560TX that I accidentally put in reverse and now it won't come out. Any ideas on what to do?
Edit: I was able to use a small screwdriver to, barely, get the screws off the base of the transmitter and get the flash off. Figured I'd update.

Haha you guys are the best. Think I'll keep the 35 limited and save for a K-3ii body.

I guess it's time to find a buyer for my 35 Limited then eh?

Hey guys. I have a K-50 with the 18-55, 35 Limited, 50/1.8, 100/2.8 Macro, and 55-300 along with a Ricoh GR-ii. I have never been in love with my 35 Limited and the thought that a 24-70 would make event shooting easier appeals heavily to me. I mostly bought the 35 Limited for it's quality and macro functions, but with the 100/2.8 Macro it's rather redundant in some uses. I feel like the 24-70 would suit me better. I've honestly used the 35 Limited about 5 times and that's it.
Am I making the right decision to sell this or am I being silly?

Oh gosh, sorry to hear! I made sure to buy my K-50 with a 3 year Amazon Warranty. Over 4,000 shots though and not a darn tootin problem. I love this bugger, I'd be crying without it.

In the past two months I've heard "Pentax is shit" from two different photographers. I calmly and politely changed the subject.

As an accounting major I can't begin to explain the complexities that go into how a company charges what do, but if you'd like some basic knowledge read up on cost-volume-profit. Pricing is super complex and a lot goes into it.
But thanks for all the comments guys, I always love reading here and learning.

You guys are all super awesome. I bought the 55-300 to replace my 50-200. I honestly loved the 50-200 and have no regrets about paying the extra money in the kit for it. I took some of my favorite shots with it. I can't wait to play with the 55-300. The more and more I read about Sigma lenses the less I'm inclined to want to buy them. Consistency and quality seems to the the main issues I come across.
Question though, assuming Pentax did put a silent motor in the 55-300, that would increase the costs right? If so, I'm glad they offer it without, though an option to have it with would be a better option as long as both were available.

Not hugely so, but it's nice to have especially since I'm going to be using either outside.

One of my favorite photos I took, actually was on the third day of owning it. Had my kit 50-200 maxed at 200mm and got this shot.

Just checked Amazon, packaging doesn't indicate that it comes with one unfortunately.

Hey guys, going to buy a Yonguo strobe flash with a remote trigger. I'm looking for a reliable bracket for it as I don't particularly trust the reviews on Amazon.

I got the 35/2.8 macro Friday and am delving into it. I absolutely love what I've shot with it so far, between this and my 50/1.8 I'm set for lenses until next year.

So I bought a 35/2.8 Macro with a refund check, not sure the focal length is a huge difference between the two in actual use, but the fastness of the 50/1.8 and the macro abilities of the 35/2.8 Macro makes me happy to have both in my possession.

Yeah it's a 50/1.8, seems a bit soft at 1.8
