No, cause I have no Sigmas, but I am lead to believe that Sigma
reverse-engineers the Pentax protocols (as opposed to licencing or
sth) with known compatibility issues. Reportedly these have been
addressed, but your email indicates (to me) that this may not be the
case when it comes to the strange beast the AF T/C is.

Just a guess,
