I'd be inclined to suggest the new 35mm f2.4 - I have seen suspicions that it's actually closer to an f2 when measured carefully. Sharp at all apertures, compact, lightweight, and cheap in Pentax prime terms. What's not to like?

I don't nit-pick when looking at images so it'd do for me. Kids at night time indoors.
I'll probably buy a flash but I'd imagine that if I have my camera in the cupboard in it's bag it'd be a lot quicker to just pull it out without having to put the flash on it.

Why not? Are you saying that f2.0 isn't fast?

I sold my 50mm f1.7 to fund a Tamron 17-50 f2.8 lens.
The 50mm was too long.
Just wondering what's the cheapest I could get a similar lens. But shorter than 50mm and f2.0 or quicker?
this seems like a nice lens and if it goes for $350 it could be next on my list
Pentax 35mm f/2 AL SMC P-FA ($350 roughly)http://www.slrgear.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/320/cat/45
I saw the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 (sounds lovely) but way too expensive.
Cheers,
Pa.

I ordered the Tamron lens yesterday. Someone just pointed out the Sigma on Ebay for a good price. It's too late to change but I'm just wondering which is considered a better lens & why?
Sigma DC 18-50mm 1:2.8 EX Macro
Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD Asp
cheers,
Pa.

(Instead of going through people's signatures for links)If you have a website/photoblog post your url here. Include what solution you used to create it (Zenfolio, Wordpress etc) if you want.
I'll start-
http://photoblog.ie Wordpress, Monotone theme. I'm thinking of changing to Zenfolio to have a complete website with galleries and easy for people to buy pictures. Even though I'm not pushing to sell a lot or expect to, it's no problem having the option there.).
