I just notice this lens: Tamron SP 15-30mm F2.8 Di VC USD.
It is not as fast as the Sigma 18-35/1.8, but it is 1.5 times more
expensive at this point (preorder @ B&H).
The advantage of that lens is that it goes much wider, and that's what
probably drives the price.
BUT: it is not available in K-mount. Canon and Nikon versions are
presumably available for about a week and a half, and one for Sony will be
availble soon.
I am not sure if I would have moved on that lens right away if it were
available, but I would have definitely considered it.
And I think some list members might be interested as well.
There is a rumor that they are waiting for the FF Pentax body to show up,
so, that they can test the lens with that body. If I read correctly, the
lens is designed for a FF-35mm body. So, that rumor is not completely
baseless.
Here is some info about the lens:
