Pentax has no FF so 35mm on APS is 50mm equivalent. 24mm on 5D (cheaper than the 5D2) is 24mm equivalent. 24mm and 50mm is very different PoV. FWIW, one of the reasons which caused me to sell my Mamiya kit was exactly that.
But of course, as it is your money, it's also your call.

Yes, it is very different, but it's all I can get for my camera without getting an old Pentax lens which costs a lot, and is only shift AFAIK ([url="http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/lenses/primes/wide-angle/K28f3.5-Shift.html"]The K 28/3.5 Shift[/url]).
