Comments about Sigma Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Auto Focus Lens for Pentax AF Cameras (*Auto Focus only if body supports HSM):

Have used it for about two months both indoors and out. Performs equally well in low light and at night. Quick, silent, auto focus. Only one shot in about 75 where it failed to get good focus in low light. A little pricey for a fast "normal" lens, but worth every cent.

Comments about Sigma Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Auto Focus Lens for Pentax AF Cameras (*Auto Focus only if body supports HSM):

I've tried the Pentax FA 50mm f/1.4 & the Pentax 40mm f/2.8 "pancake" on my K200D and found the 50mm to soft at the faster apertures (f/2.4 and faster) and found that the 40mm wasn't fast enough for me. The Sigma 50mm f/1.4 answers both of these problems! Fast & Sharp!

Comments about Sigma Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Auto Focus Lens for Pentax AF Cameras (*Auto Focus only if body supports HSM):

I've got this permanently tethered to my K200D. The quality on this lens is amazing, even up to 1.4. I had my doubts and only expected to have it be reasonable at 2.0 and above, but is definitely usable at 1.4. It performs much better than I expected for landscapes, so that's a bonus. Its a great camera for those who want to keep flash use to a minimum.

I did mention heavy as a con, but to be honest, I don't mind it.
