Well, after seeing this review at Lensfreaks website, it seems like Pentax needs to replace their aging 50mm f/1.4 with a new one after they released their new full frame camera.

Hmm. Pity Sigma doesn't offer their 50mm f/1.4 Art with Pentax mount...

Pentax already have the DA* 55 mm f:1.4, which is reported to offer full frame coverage, in spite of the DA designation.

If 55 mm is too long, there is always the FA 43 f:1.9 ltd.

If you don't need f:1.4, the DA 50 mm f:1.8 covers full frame too, and is more reasonably priced.
