For me, there are too many daisies to look at, so I had a play with it - hope you do not mind :-

Beautiful shots i particularly like No2.

I often wonder how you fit so many people into such a small country and still have all that wide open space
Just a few hundred yards (as the crow flies) from photograph No. 2 is Fawley - a massive oil refinery

Sorry to hear of your problems.

I hope everything gets sorted out and you can return to DSLR photography in the near future.

Yes, the Pentax lens does benefit from SDM focussing I guess, and it's water-resistant.

Water ingress is not such a problem here in southern spain, but dust is.

I'm swaying towards the Pentax at the moment . . . an hour ago it was the Sigma. Ho hum, decisions . . . decisions.
I went through the same exercise and ended up with the Pentax, which for me was definitely the right decision.
No regrets then?

After a few hours of deliberation, I'm still on the Pentax side of the fence. Time will tell.
Thanks for your feedback.

Regards,
No regrets.

Leaving aside any debate about image quality, the Pentax is significantly lighter and I wanted a lens that could be used hand held or if absolutely necessary with a monopod.

Very impressive Lilly.

I like to think that I would have sorted out the basic stuff but the mono bit is most enlightening (pardon the pun).

Very nice image but I think that it looks slightly 'detached' without a background.

(Hope I don't go that wrinkly)
