I thought I would chime in with my dos pesos I know it is not popular to say anything nice about Sigma lenses, but mine has been a fine lens. Just after purchasing my first Pentax, a PZ-70, I needed an AF lens with a bit more reach. BH had a sale going on and they had a Sigma 1:3.8-5.6

Hi Jerry are you talking about the Sigma 28-200mm 3.8-5.6 UC aspherical with 72mm filter size. I just got one with a P30 body and have not used it so far. I looked up some reviews and have read so far: - it's okay for the price, but otherwise not really recommended - not good at 28mm and 200mm
