I don't think in EV numbers, although I should. I frequently shoot pool
tournaments at f2.8, ISO 6400. Action is moderate of course. All just for fun.
My work work is usually in bright sun.
Yeah, dancing is often f/1.8 ISO 10,000+, 1/20 second or slower.
I got away with f/3.5 with my 8mm fisheye by leaning hard on ISO and
shooting at 1/10 S. I figure the 28-105 will be fast enough for outside
work, and I won't need weather protection for indoor work.

Id want to test it. See how sharp in the corners that DA lens is. The 50/1.4 is

getting only the sweet spot on the K3. Primes have become somewhat irrelevant,
In my opinion.
You don't do a lot of action photography in EV 1 to -3 light levels, do you?
:-)
I just used JF's data explorer to look at 1335 photos shot at two dance events
over the past few weeks. They were all shot between total effective exposure
between EV 3 (five of them) and -2.
-2 10
-1 110
0 381
1 385
2 443
3 5
Primes are still incredibly relevant in my opinion.
Mind you, I've been very tempted by the sigma 18-35, but what it gains in
speed, it mostly loses in sensor coverage on the K-1. Their FF f/2 zoom isn't
available on Pentax, and at 24-35 it's not a lot of zoom. It almost seems to be
an 18-35 that has been restricted to the range where it covers the full frame
image circle.
