1825g on my (rather old 'n' cheap) kitchen scale. Caps and lens hood
included.
So, Mr. B Dimitrov is clearly in the wrong here (1510 g). Even stripping it
from caps, hood, and tripod collar would not bring it below 1700 grams, I
believe.

1510-1270=240. Which is why I never bothered.

I had both in my posession for a couple of days, and compared them on
the same scale. The 1270 g figure for the Sigma seems accurate, but
the Pentax is heavier, unless memory betrays me. Maybe we can persuade
Jens to check it? He owns the lens now...:-)
