I ran a quickie comparison test between my FF K1 + 31mm ltd lens and my SDQ + 18-35mm A lens set to approx same 31mm focal range as my Pentax lens. Same aperture, same tripod no sharpening but images adjusted for brightness. There was little difference generally but I thought that the SDQ images were a little sharper. Don't forget that the Pentax is FF and the 31mm is one of Pentax's best lens! I use the Pentax as an alternative when conditions or subject matter does not favour the Sigma. Both systems are excellent at what they are designed for. I suspect that my post may not clarify your dilemma but in reality I get more satisfaction from my Sigma. I do not find that the DR is much of a problem.

Thanks for showing us, ... but those photos don't need such a big DR, not so good examples.

Wouldn't be a photo with a large DoF from that boot, with sharp tree tops,  clear blue sky, and dark shadows in the frame a much bigger challenge for the Sigma?
