I have one, and it cost me less than half the quoted price for the Pentax FA-300 f/2.8. A moot point actually, because at the time I bought the Sigma lens, no one I could find had the Pentax FA-300 f/2.8 lens in stock or was able to order it. I took what I could get. One drawback to the Sigma lens ... since it's not a Pentax lens, you won't be able to submit photos taken with it to the Pentax Gallery, even if you do mount it on a Pentax DSLR. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
