I am about to buy a Pentax DSLR and hesitating between various system options. Anybody has the combination of K-X and Sigma 17-70 OS HSM? – Does it fit/balance K-X nicely? From the description it looks like this Sigma 17-70 is a quite big lens – doesn’t it “outweight” the camera? Thank you.

Whilst I don't own the Sigma 17-70, I have the Sigma 18-50.
According to the specs of both lenses (non HSM version of the 17-70), the 18-50 is 5g lighter.

It's very well balanced on the Kx.
