The Pentax 31mm is a traditionally made, metal and glass lens of the highest manufacturing standards, with exceptional performance. I doubt that a Sigma lens will be better, but it will of course also depend on how we define "better"!

I know which I would prefer to have on my camera. Compact size is not the only Pentax advantage - construction quality, flare resistance, optical performance, consistent colour balance with other SMC lenses....

It will go well with my feeling of deja vu.

This is a very unwise thread IMHO, I'll leave it for now but if it becomes uncivilised in itself don't be surprised.

I think what you mean by your question might be do we think you were civil, not civilised.

That picture is very red, if you shot in tungsten light that's not the best approach. Test should be in good daylight, so, if that was what you did, why not try again?

Dell 2209WA or equivalent, with IPS panel. We bought two and have been delighted.

The only problem with old lens tests is that we never know how the sample tested has been treated over the years, or whether it's a good or not so good example of the lens.

Interesting though.

Not selling anything, but the one I have in mind I felt was going OTT all over the web. IMHO of course.

Perhaps people are over-thinking. Clock Tower is a very common bit of architecture.
