What's the difference between these two Sigma lenses?

Hi,
The second one is The Pentax one as I own one. I bought it two years ago from Microglobe in London. I believe the first one to be the built in motor model that at the time was only for the other makes.
Lovely lens

Hi,
Looking at the pics the first one is a Nikon fit, second one Pentax with aperture ring.

Ok thanks everyone! But both lenses were in the pentax lens section, so that can't be the difference.

Quite common for sites to show wrong photo. As several have said the Pentax one IS the second one. Stick to UK dealers

Before you consider either lens, to pick up Pentaxonian's warning, take a look at http://photo3-tech.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/slr-hut-reviews-sales-of-cheap-ipads.h... There are plenty of similar cautions around. The fact that both lenses are in the Pentax section may not, in fact, tell you very much at all.

I can't see a UNit 17 being associated with a single shop front

In fact if you look at the google street view pic of the address there's a banner saying "coming Soon - Mail Boxes, etc - need a business ort personal address, make 336 Kensington lane your address.
IOW this is a company offering a proxy address. Therefore SLRhut are lying when they say "With a physical presence now in London, we make it even easier for our customers if ever a product needs to be returned."
Unit 17 really means PO Box 17 I guess
ETA: CMW's links says all that anyway

I saw both these lenses on SLR Hut:
http://slrhut.co.uk/product/ID263C15/201109-_Sigma-10_20mm-F_4_5_6-EX-DC-J-Autof...
http://slrhut.co.uk/product/ID80C15/201609-_Sigma-Zoom-Super-Wide-Angle-10_20mm-... they have almost exactly the same name (Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6...) but different pictures and one is slightly more expensive than the other. What would be the difference between these lenses? Thanks!
