Anybody has experience using this lens with the K1?
How does it compare to the FA 31/1.8 Limited?
Thanks.

I have experience with both lens although no on the same body. FA 31 will have more 3D result, film rendering look.
While the sigma will produce very sharp image at with extreme bokeh wide open
Depends on what you want.
The FA31ltd is unique.
Its a 31mm focal length so it is a bit wider and sits between a 28mm and 35mm in terms of working distance and FOV coverage.
So its an even more environmental portrait lens compared to a 35mm, but not needing to get as close to the subject as a 28mm.
For its f1.8 and wider FOV, its also a small lens (and small lenses go places).
Its mainly more center sharp wide open, but if you don't shoot wall charts, this emphasis on central sharpness results in a good pop to the images.
The 'pop' is really good between f2-f4 (where the lens sharpens up really well over f1.8).

At f8 its very sharp edge to edge and coupled with that wider 31mm fov it works well as a 28mm sort of focal length for landscapes.

Metal build, manual aperture ring and somewhat damped for manual focusing to top off the small perks of the lens.
The Sigma is a more modern lens.
Much bigger and designed to be sharper on the off center areas right from wide open.
