Hi!
If someone gets their hands on this particular lens please share your opinions and what price you payed for it.
It is very dificult to find Pentax glass here in Portugal, or at least at reasonable prices. I am going to France on my holidays in August, and I'm planning on purchasing some equipment there for my *ist DS (wich is taking it's time to arrive, I can't seem to do anything right, like a kid waiting a new toy), including a nice tele (I had my eyes on the Sigma 55-200mm F4-5.6 DC).
This was THE one I lusted for as soon as I got my eyes on it... but I thought it could be too much for me. If it really hoovers around the 300USD mark, I may actually get one!
