Sigma 170-500mm APO for Pentax - Compatibility?
Ie I didn't realise there might be a KAF2, or any other type of mount/compatibility issue.
So, where do I get a list of KAF3 bodies ?
Are KAF3 lenses (like my Sigma here), KAF2 backward compatible? Or will it only work on bodies which are KAF3?
As you can tell, I'm a green about the gills relating to this sort of stuff...
Many thanks to mosphotos.com !!!!

Looks like my potential buyer could be in luck as his K-m appears to be SDM/DC friendly.
"KAF3: This is a crippled KAF2 mount without the autofocus drive shaft. Lenses with the KAF3 mount will only autofocus on camera bodies with support for SDM and DC autofocus. "
K-m has SDM/DC autofocus (apparently - according to this list) - so this lens should work fine then?

I was using it with an adaptor on a Lumix - so have no idea what bodies it's actually meant to fully work with - eg Auto-focus functionality.
Can anyone please help me with this?
I've tried looking all over the place online, but so far to no avail.
Have contacted Sigma directly, but they've yet to get back to me on this.
So any help would be greatly appreciated...
Cheers!
