Yes, I know what you mean. I just wanted your impressions of the Sigma 17-35
because I may consider one (as soon as I become employed again) if Pentax
doesn't make one soon (this year). The thing that really puts me off is the
82mm filter; I prefer to be able to use the 77mm filters that my Tokina
28-80/2.8 and Pentax 80-200/2.8 use.
