I really like them, especially no3. What PP did you do, if any.

Excellent shot, I love the colour (i thought they were pink) and the evil eye.

Just picked one up for $350. About the same cost as my Tamron 28-300 six years or more ago. Initial subjective tests indicate the quality is far superior. I'll have to do some more qualitative tests later.
It is obviously soft at the far end, of course I'm not sure that is anything but expected for the rage and price of this lens.

I use it when doing macro if i need to stick the camera into a bush or something of that nature, when my fat head won't fit

I Purchased it second hand along with the Metz 58 AF-1 flash. I brought locally from a guy who was changing camera systems (another Nikon convert) They were only 2 months old and came boxed with sales reciepts. $600 for both items was too good a price to pass up. Retail price here in Sydney is well over a grand.
I also brought a K100D super off the guy with kit lens for $100 But the camera wont fire up, he dropped it, There is no apparent damage to it, so its something internal and i'm going to try and get it fixed under warranty as it has the sales reciept also, or maybe i can fix it myself.
The guy had a bunch of gear and I almost brought the lot i'll end up selling the stuff I don't want including the Sigma macro, I went there just to buy the flash but it didn't turn out that way
To answer your question about comparisons with the Pentax, I haven't really done any comparative tests as yet but the few pics I have taken look very good and I would say, as good as the pentax.
