Yes, you can use the K200D with one!

The trouble is, is that Pentax have come into the HSM/ SDM game later than most, (ie in the last 2 years!), so there is a transition period at the mo

Just had an email from Pentax UK who advise their is no update ver 1.03 only 1.02 and dont mention any subsequent reference to the 120-400mm. They dont say yes or no if you need any upgrade of the firmware !
I am not surprised they didn't mention the sigma lens as they can't comment on another manufacturers products; they would have made a comment if it had been a Pentax lens you were enquiring about.

Perhaps Sigma could start manufacturing their lenses in UK with such a poor exchange rate...

No - it wasn't a Pentax strap - lesson learnt.

I have had a couple of occasions where the camera with lens has either hit something, or been dropped (strap breaking), and the filter on the lens has taken the impact. They were cheaper to replace than the lens itself! Also I'd prefer to clean 'muck' from a filter by wiping it clean rather than the lens front element.

For digital, as UV is not such a problem (so I've been told), you can get plain 'lens protectors' - I have got a couple of marumi dhg protectors which give very low reflections, and are thin as well.

Couldn't some nice local PU person loan you a couple of flashes?
