My favorite non Pentax AF is the Sigma 17-50/2.8, it's just a solid performing workhorse. Manual focus I have an old Sigma 50/2.8 macro that I bought for $65. It had the infamous "zen coating" on the lens barrel. I did not use it for a couple of months over the winter and it fused together I was unable to focus it. In trying to disassemble it to fix it I destroyed the outer focus ring, but the lens works fine without it. I did have that Rokinon 8mm fisheye mentioned by a couple of people, great lens, just not used enough for me to keep.
The lens that that I wish I still had was the Kiron 28/F2. It was probably the sharpest lens I ever had and I stupidly sold it, thinking I could pick up an A version of the lens or of the Kiron 24/2. I have found neither, at least that I could afford or was in working condition.
