Nicely detailed, but not over sharpened. Plus, deep rich color and contrast I do really like them. Nice lens

That is such a dream combo and you truly lived up to the challenge! I heard the Sigma ART lenses don't always play nice with our much-maligned Pentax AF SAFOX systems but you hit this one out of the park. Absolutely gorgeous images, every single one of them.

I'm still shying away from the K-1 because of its larger form factor but most of my fast glass is FF K-mount already (with a few APS-C exceptions like the DA*50-135) so it becomes harder to resist all the time.

Beautiful rendering, just lovely!

I like the 35/1.4 Art because it's versatile, perfect lens in all respects and has "replaced" the 31/1.8 Limited on my Pentax K-1 Mark II in the vast majority of cases.
It has weaknesses, apart from its weight. Also, I had to tune it with a Sigma USB dock before it could focus perfectly wide open. Actually, I still have the 77/1.8 Limited, which I'll never change.

I've had almost the entire Pentax line of cameras except the K-3 Mark III - K-10 / K-20 / K-5 / K-5II / K-3 / K-3II , but the FF Pentax is a transition to a whole other level of shooting.
