What is VFM an abbreviation for, please? There is no photographic meaning for it in this acronym list and Wikipedia uses it as an abbreviation for a religious organisation!... the best VFM lens around, awesome sharp images.
Thanks,
Martin

Can't comment on the Sigma but if the DA35 is anywhere close (in quality) to the FA35 (which is my most used lens at present) then it's very good...How is the Sigma 30mm f1.4 in comparison to the Pentax DA 35mm f2.4?
Most of my keeper shots (portrait, landscape, whatever) come from either the FA35 or DFA100...

Not sure why some people are recommending 50mm lenses as they are a touch wide for a close crop portrait, only any good for head and shoulders or full length etc. If I were buying a lens for portraits I'd want one that could do a close crop portrait too.
