Liberartoo, I think you think to highly of the K-7 it isn't a 5D or D700 but in the range of the D300 and 50D.
It's nice that pentax would come with a 400mm f/2.8 it would make the system more profesional but I don't believe it would bring many photographers over or that many want to pay £4000 for the lens.
A 400mm f/5.6 for £1800 would make more users happy since it's atleast reachable for most to get that lens and enjoy it. £4000 lens is only for the real pro's or people that have too much money but those wouldn't buy in the K-7, D300, 50D, etc. range but will probable have something like a 5D or D700.

I only see one 18-55 on the Samsung site and that is the normal version.
The normal 18-55 has one lens group and element more.
Samsung 18-55 - 12 elements, 9 groups
Pentax 18-55 - 12 elements, 9 groups
Pentax 18-55 mkII - 11 elements, 8 groups

That's the best answer I can give you since I ain't sure.

If you look at the list you see that it does work with the Canon, Sony & Nikon but that it doesn't work with Pentax.
The best thing you can do is contact Sigma.

That only tells something about your internet speed not the speed on the server side.

i assume as go between the body and the lens, they fit on both????
Yes they fit on both but the DG TC are specially designed to fit DG lenses, that's what I meant by that.

Quote:
These dedicated APO tele-converters are mounted between specific lenses and the camera body to increase the focal length by the power of 1.4 or 2.

These digitally optimized tele-converters employ the latest lens coating technology to reduce both flare and ghosting. A combination of these dedicated tele-converters and specific DG lenses ensure the best possible performance. The new special design maintains the master lens’ high-level of performance while extending its focal length.

SDM (Supersonic Direct-drive Motor) is the same as HSM with sigma and USM with Canon, every brand has their own naming for it.

About the TC.
The Sigma DG TC only fit on DG lens so far as I know. Those TC are also a bit different since they fit onto the lens rather then the body.
With most other sigma's you can use another brand TC but some sigma lenses when zooming or focusing extend into the body and those can't be used since they would hit and damage the TC.

I'm no sigma user so if someone can confirm this.

Fair enough Mike but do you know where he lives?

Ah well it's quite a general topic right, the K-7 and everything named is for sale in those country that UK prices need to be different (you always need to be different you know!) isn't my fault

The price comparison is pretty much the same between the rest of the EU and the US.

[reasonable SRS, especially when Nikon have a 50mm f1.4 for £150 (ish)
Yes I know Mike but that are the prices here, that shop is around the middle range with his price. The cheapest I could find is a Nikon AF-D 50mm F/1.4 for €279 (£241)
What can I say... sorry that the situation here is different?

The Nikon is in the US $325 without VAT so you seem to have a great deal with Nikon over there.
