Picked up an A/F Sigma 50mm f2.8 macro for less than £80 on eBay recently and have been playing with it, mainly with portraits of the kids.

All these are taken on the K1 and wide open at f2.8

Cracking set,
I've been eyeing up a few of these on the bay also, think I might pull the trigger on the next one I see, hard to beat at that price.
I know what i like, If not always why.
