The lens is in my possession. I picked it up about 2 minutes before the shop closed. Unfortunately, it was too late to do much with it. I have put it on the K10D and played around with the SDM and general zooming. If anyone has any questions, let me know - what I can't tell you yet is my impression of image quality. That will have to wait until at least tomorrow.
