....the 10-20mm is astonishing catching a true perspective keeping straight lines.
Yup
In tight city streets you can't often get back very far from tall buildings and converging verticals are a constant problem, but the 10-20 takes in such a wide view that you stand a good chance of keeping the camera level and minimising the problem.
Bought mine about 6yrs ago and always take it with when travelling, and it's a tough little b****r - been dropped several times on the camera, and still comes out working fine (saying that, I suppose it will break the next time that happens )

There is a 35mm f1.4 Sigma ART LENS FOR SALE AT £390 (nearly half price).

I was wondering which 50mm prime lens outside of the limited stock opt for. It will probably be my walk around lens in the city on my k30, but which one. I have looked at the Pentax 50mm FA f1.4 and also the SMC DA 50mm f1.8 which is about £180 cheaper.
Has anybody used or own either or both? And recommend one for me. On the face of it I would say the f1.4 will be the clear winner, but I always like the underdog or less popular option, providing its a good bit of kit and value for money.
Apologies if this topic has already been debated.
