Pentax Rumors has posted an information that Sigma will stop making lenses
for Pentax K-mount, quoting Sigma's FB post in Czech:
https://pentaxrumors.com/2019/09/06/sigma-to-stop-making-lenses-for-pentax-k-mount/
If that's true, it is rather unfortunate for the Pentax community:
1. Those people who enjoy Sigma lenses, will not have that option
available any more.
2. Even if you don't like Sigma lenses, this would also mean reduced
competition for Pentax lenses. That means somewhat less pressure
for Pentax to innovate, and probably higher prices for Pentax lenses.
Now, that Tokina and Sigma are out, who's left? Tamron?
There are some non-AF lenses from other manufacturers, but that is a
different market niche.
In any case, - if you were considering buying some Sigma lens, you
probably shouldn't wait too long.
Cheers,
Igor
