NC Could you tell more about Sigma 24/1.8 performance (sharpness, and
flare
NC control) ? Have you used it on a full-frame SLR ?
I tried it out on film few years ago. Wide open it was nothing
stellar. Also, wide open it has less relative
The Sigma is very good for sharpness and very little vignetting. I have used it
on an MZ-S and projected the resulting slide to 6' to good effect.
You do have to watch out for flare and general contrast reduction when shooting
into a bright light source, and it's essential to use the suppliee

I use the Pentax 24mm f/2.8 SMC-A lens. I did use the Sigma 24mm f/1.8 before I
got the Pentax, but prefer the compact size of the Pentax. I used mainly manual
focus with the Sigma anyway, so don't miss the AF.
I tend to take at least the 14mm f/2.8 DA and the 50mm f/1.4 SMC-A as well if
I'm
Although I've used only primes in the past, the DA 16-45 has become my
normal lens as of late. The only downside is it's lack of speed. When I
need something faster in the middle of that range, I use an M 35/2.

I have this neat little photo calculator on my system called fCalc.
When I compare diagonal angle of view of APS vs 35mm the 40mm is almost
an exact replacement for a 50mm in AOV so I would guess the 43mm would
be your best bet. If you believe fCalc that is.
If you use the standard 1.5x

A lot depends, of course, on what each individual considers to be a
normal focal length.
For the 35mm format, while the common normal FL is considered to
be 50mm, some like 55mm better, and there are some who like 77mm or
85mm, while

Add in (or multiply by, I guess) the APS cropping factor, and
you'd also get quite a range of APS normal focal lengths.

Oops - yes, that's quite right, Jens. Thanks for catching me in one

I guess the one comparable to 50/1.4 or 1.7 will be the FA31/1.8LE and
the FA35/2

Or either of the 28/2 lenses.
