Why did you opt for Pentax and not CanonNikon?
All three have differences but your choice was made to opt for Pentax same situation PC via MAC.

I hadn't noticed the very ocatagonal bokeh of the Sigma before, though I don't find it unatractive.

Wide open the shutter is round, stopping down caused hexagonal shapes due to the shutter blades.

Gary this new Sigma has my attention at the moment. Not seen any reviews on it yet but would be surprised if its not up too scratch :
"Lens as yet not in production for Pentax Or Sigma, No news when it will be available possibly mid to end of this year. No firm dates"
Looks like we will have to wait out. Pentax really should get good 2.8 zoom for us to use in the 70-200 or higher.
Its a bit of a annoyance that makes me think about switching cameras....

Gary my understanding is it will Auto focus, I believe it works with HSM and as standard auto focus.
The pentax 60-250 is due out in April is it not. but that is f4 not f2.8
I have added this lens to my list now, I will wait out on the 60-250 reviews.
However the Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8 II EX DG MACRO HSM Lens might be the better option now if AF works. (combined with converter the glass would allow this to work in the range I am looking for).
