According to this, link, you may need to be careful even if it is a PK version.

I have never seen a white one or the olive in PKA and believe me I've hunted quite a few of these down

If its the 72mm APO then do check the front internal (actual the apo chromatic element) for haze as lens separation was an issue for this model (in any colour)

I have very little information on the 1980 version so this may have been available in white but suspect not

The 88 version
http://www.sigmauser.co.uk/images/stories/museum/APReview40056AF.pdf

If its the 95 or 97 77mm version then no white version.

also bear in mind the target market the 88 version was designed to sell at £220 the 97 version £3500! so they are a little different in their optical capabilities even if the headline 400f5.6 is the same.

Will it stop them sneering at me behind my back at airshows?
