I have an older Sigma 18-35 which I bought for my MZ-S. It's a very sharp lens, but sometimes has trouble locking focus (it's the only lens on that camera that ever has a problem!). Build quality seems good for all-plastic, and it's very light. This new lens is something else with a constant f1.8, SDM and USB link. I wonder whether the USB link could be used to match it to individual camera models firmware, including Pentax?
