CHEERS Vic.
Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.

OK but what's different.
All electronic connection to new lenses, no mechanics involved - I think, except retained for older lenses.

Typical! Just when I was thinking of perhaps trying to sell my Sigma 50-500 lens on as I hardly use it, someone comes in and swamps the market with them.
Don't see a problem as you'll not price the lens anywhere near the "New" price - and, if the rumour is true, then "people" could well be more interested in buying a "cheap" copy of a lens that Sigma obviously considers to be worth of "resuscitating"

I don't really keep up with the super-telephoto news as it's not my thing but I thought this might be of interest to some. Apparently the Sigma 50-500 had been discontinued in the K-mount but according to this page (in Spanish) sent to me by a Spanish Pentax online dealer, a limited run is to be produced soon. The price in Spain is 1379.00€, no idea what it would be elsewhere.
