I'm floored by the price of a new DA*16-50 - 1296.95 - I got mine way back when for less than half that !

Attila, you have to realize that this Sigma has nothing on the market to compare it to. DA* 16-50 is a different lens. It has WR, it is wider and longer as far as zoom range goes, while Sigma boasts tremendous image quality and the USB dock so that you could play with your copy to your heart liking.

I'm not buying Sigma and I'm not re-buying DA* 16-50. But I very much would like Pentax to do something rather unlimited and produce a lens that will compete with Sigma in IQ dept face to face.

Would like to see some comparison between the two lenses.

     The Pentax K-3 was an early front-runner in this poll, and blazed
     through to a convincing victory, garnering an impressive 31.4% of
the total vote. Strangely, stablemates the K-50 and K-500 got almost
     no love, but the capable, innovative K-3 was your pick for best
DSLR/SLT of 2013 by a landslide. Which probably means we should get
     going with our full review, right? We'll get right on it.
