I would have thought this could change with the latest K4 mount and after the K1 came out they very quickly modified the mount shape to suit, but I suspect all their efforts are now with cranking out special lenses for mirrorless bodies to supplement the rest of their range.
Tamron make some Pentax lenses under a special licence and it appears they don’t put K mounts on their own similar versions as part of that deal.

This lens is not made in E mount or X mount .
IN fact there is only 1 sigma zoom lens in E mount .
The Fuji X mount is not supported at all. So much for Fuji shooters complain about the lack of third party support.
Other brands also lack support, from Sigma.

We don't provide all of our lenses in Pentax mount - Only a few. This is due to the global demand for Pentax fit.
If we see an increase in demand we will produce more Pentax mounting lenses.
Surely this is self defeating, if a product is unavailable no one asks for it. If you would like to see this product and similar become available, please contact Sigma UK and let them know there is an untapped market out there.
