Thanks for all the input guys, I'm not sure about the almost garish contrast, although it would make for some interesting results due to the nature of the lens. I still can't help but think I should wait for the Sigma to come along. I'd guarantee if I buy the Zenitar I'll find the Sigma listed somewhere shortly afterwards leaving me to sell the Zenitar at what price? They're very affordable new as it is. The Pentax lenses are just too expensive for a lens I would probably only use once or twice per year although they would retain their resale value.
