My Dad bought the 150-500mm with a tax refund (they'd been charging him for a company car after the lease had finished and he'd bought the car himself) and is very happy with it, although I've had more use from it than he has so far!
Only criticism is that it struggles to find focus on my K-m but at f6.3 in a Welsh February I'm not entirely surprised. A tripod is pretty much essential and manual focus is therefore not difficult. Overall, a very nice piece of kit when you have the right conditions.

If anyone is upgrading and getting rid of a 100-300 F4 or 70-200 let me know I might be interested and will probably offer more than the trade in value
Lurking is shirking.!

btw I have the non OS version of the
Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4.5
highly recommended. the macro function is great too. You can almost focus on the front element. Great for street abracts.
I've been out and shoot about 800 drive by snaps with the very lens today.

I'm sure I've seen the 85/1.4 at SRS in the sigma/pentax pages for ages now. I'm eventually going to get one. 2nd K-5 comes first though.
