I'm not sure for other brands but my retailer (which is Pentax
fan/collector and usually reliable) says Sigma defenitely does
reverse-engeneering.
He does also notice that whatever the mount (even for Canon etc.), he
has a way higher number of returns/warranty repairs with Sigma stuff.

Buy Pentax lenses. They're better performers, 99.9% of the time
anyway. The Pentax FA24-90/3.5-4.5 AL would be an excellent choice
for a lens in this focal length range.
Thanks.
tho with digital, I will also need a very wide lens to cover from 10/15 to 24/28
