Ive never had sdm issues with either of my da* lenses which where both bought used. a repair is only £130 and for that you get the new improved motor etc that does away with the alleged problem.

over the years i have used many third party lenses and was only really happy with the results from the Pentax lenses in the end. No doubt sigma have made great strides recently but I still don't think you can beat getting lenses from the same manufacturer as the camera body.

It was important for me when i worked the music festivals but still used one of those plastic bag type things in extreme wet conditions.

Used one at SRS for £575 with 12 months guarantee, looks a no brainer to me

I love mine, I upgraded from the Tamron rather than the Sigma and found it a lot better than the Tamron, why the reviews put the Pentax, Tamron and Sigma so close I don't know.

Well Sony just pulled out of the computer market, with no warning at all. Production of Sony Vaio laptops is no more, if they can do that to laptops I wouldn't put it past them to pull out of the DSLR sector quickly either if profits didn't held up.
