Well its arrived and I havn't done a thing all day except play!

First impressions, I love it, but there is a but...Within certain parameters it does display some back focussing which I kinda expected.

Whether this is correct of me or not as I have not adjusted this before on the K20, I went into custom settings and brought forward AF adustment 2 notches, it seems to have helped and I made sure not to affect ALL! How does it know to adjust for that particular lens? Be grateful if someone can enlighten me.

Experimenting, I think in certain situations you alleviate this problem by manual focus which is something I never have had to do before, but my eyes are not too bad so will try more often.

However, the bokeh, colour rendition, quality as a whole I am very pleased with and it so cool to have such a fast aperture, very creative which I have come to love already on my 50mm, so nice to have it on a standard now

Not much for you yet to look at, but will post up more later, but some for those curious

This is the first one I took, full frame:

Yep, been and gone and dunnit! Sigma 30mm 1.4 on its way tonight, hopefully I shall be playing with my new toy tomorrow morning Lilly

yes, she has been on mine for days was really peeing me off, getting very AP indeed!

Thanks Clarky for going to the trouble of posting those for me, so good of you, it is appreciated mate!
I am getting nearer to a decision now, HONEST guys!
You must be so fed up with me whittling on and on, but what with the damn prices of lenses shooting thru the roof I really want to be sure I am making the right decision as I am not loaded! My finger is poised to go back to my very original decision - way back to the Sigma 30mm 1.4, I really want a fast widish lens, so any moment I shall commit!
Thank you for all help
felicitations, Lilly

Correct!

Very depressing

I like it Aiki, the reflections, patterns and design, but feel the bottom right takes my eye away, I think you need to just crop it like this, IMHO!

Thank you vmuch Mike!
You know I had spent all day yesterday shooting at 35 & 30mm on my 18-55 desparately trying to decide which one and the 21mm kept comming back to haunt me as the other just did not seem wide enough!

Please post up one at least you took for me to see? privately if you prefer by pm?
