It would be too expensive and they wouldn't sell many. I've no doubt that it would be a superb lens.Why couldn't the Pentax be f2.8?
I have the Sigma 70-200 lens and it's a good 'un.

Another option is the K20D which has better low light capability!
Also, what about the Sigma 100-300 F4, SRS Microsystems have it for £759.

I'm with beakynet....
the bigma is a fine lens. I wish I had one. Unfortunately critters won't pay for portraits, and wildlife stock, is too abundant already....so I'll have to go without for now.
the k20 has better low light/high iso imaging than the k10. a second body is a good idea!

Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

I currently have a Sigma 170-500 f4.5-6 lens on my K10d
The options as I see it are the Sigma or Tamron 70-200 f2.8 lens, or the new Pentax 60-250 f4 when that is released.
I'm thinking the Sigma/Tamron would be the best in the lower light, but the Pentax lens is weather proofed, which is useful. Why couldn't the Pentax be f2.8?
Ideas?
