Congratulations, Darren. I have Sigma EX 24-60/2.8 zoom lens which
proves to be surprisingly good. Yet, you might want to consider stopping
down your Sigma to f/2.4 or even f/2.8 for optimal performance.
Like we say in Russian - "You get used to the good things very rapidly"...

I've always been somewhat of a bottom-feeder when it comes to
equipment (you remember me, Mr. Bang-for-the-buck Guy) so this K-5 is
new territory for me (but I think I could get used to it).
I'm very impressed by what I see of the K-5 so far. What I've never
heard anybody talk about before (or maybe I wasn't paying attention)
is how QUIET it is when you fire the shutter. I can take pictures up
close behind people's back and they don't even hear it. Heck, *I* can
hardly hear it! I think I'm in love.
In another departure from my bottom-feeder ways, I ordered my first
*new* lens yesterday. I made an unexpected lens sale and ordered the
Sigma 28mm f/1.8 EX DG DF Macro AF with the windfall. It should be
here next Friday. If nothing else, it should provide me with some
faster exposure times the next time the Northern Lights decide to show
themselves to South-Central Nebraska!
Interesting images taken with this lens from Flickriver.com:

The seller has more and their price is more than right on this lens.
If I'm not mistaken this lens will cover full frame (an important
consideration if you are leaning toward Pentax announcing a FF one
day)
