I reckon I should write it in my blog somewhere.
Photograph is 95% photographer (building a composition, choosing a
light, applying proper technique, etc), 4% a lens and 1% a camera.
You're a good photographer, Andy, but it makes almost no sense (like
24:1 ratio) to talk about how good are your lenses. I for one, get
excellent results from my Sigma EX 24-60/2.8. Wonderful optic, that Sigma.
To support my point, here is a recently published article:
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/thoughts_on_medium_format_cameras.shtml
Please look for "Better Cameras Can Produce Worse Pictures" section. IMO
it is right on the money.

Fell in love with this little silver bullet the first time it touched
my K20D a few years ago ... can't get enough of the focal length
especially; it's everything the FA35/2 on film is/was. Amazing color
rendering and contrast, not all that large, fast, and just plain fun
to shoot with (I typically leave the hood at home; it's my only
gripe). So who else is shooting with this old 'relic'? There seems
to be lots of clamoring for an updated version of this focal length.
Here is my gallery with the lens: www.photobucket.com/PentaxFA24
And one of my fave shots with the lens:

Any thoughts?
