Thanks guys for your comments, appreciated.
I have just discovered the following info,

https://forum.mflenses.com/test-24mm-f2-8-fd-ar-md-ais-sigma-yash-zeiss-t85566.h...

I'm quite amazed how it performs against the others in the test. I did pixel peep some shots to compare with a 50mm smc 1.7 and a K 55mm 1.8, ( because that's what kit I had to hand.) The Sigma was just much more sharper even after sharpening and CA correction on the pentax ones, it is a later era though I believe.

Great pictures of a great part of the world, gateway to the 'Wilderness' as we used to refer it.

Strangely I'm beginning to realise the hidden beauty in decaying flowers. Normally photos in this subject didn't spark any real interest, but it's changed and surprised me.
My recent shots of the Darter dragon fly had more dead foxglove than Darter due to not using a macro lens, and I was strangely drawn to the decaying plant as much as the insect!
These are truly great pictures, well done.

Lovely set, numbers 3 and 4 for me, perhaps my favourite is number 3.
