Wider and longer than the Sigma with WR...plus some cash your way...?

Hi Bruce, afraid I am only looking for a 16-85mm, or possibly a Ricoh GR.
Cheers, Rob

I bought this Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 HSM from WEX late last year, its in great condition and comes with the original Hood, front and rear lens caps and Box.

I would like a DA16-85mm in swap, ideally. The Sigma is obviously an excellent match with the new K-1, but I would like a WR zoom thats a bit wider, so the DA16-85 fits the bill.

Price is £299 inc UK delivery but prefer a swap, as above.

I'm looking for a Ricoh GR (the 16mp APS-C version).
Cheers, Rob

There is still 3/4 left in there, I have a good sized collection of mainly Islay and a few other Whiskys, around 15 odd bottles at the moment so there is a certain amount of rotation.....

On Film, its the FA43, just the perfect walk around lens. Super sharp (in the centre wide open, and everywhere stopped down a little), Compact/Lightweight, great build.

On the K-3II, its a bit different, I've really slimmed down my lenses, so just down to the Sigma 24-70mm HSM and the 85mm HSM as well as the Pentax 10-17 (and FA43 of course).
On that, the Sigma 85mm f1.4 HSM is just a peach, its large but consistently delivers although I've not used it too much, its a great replacement for the Voigtlander 58mm Nokton f1.4 and 90mm APO f3.5 that I had previously.

As far as I know there is only one Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 version with HSM. There were a couple of older non HSM ones I believe.
I have the HSM model, and it says 'Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 IF EX DG' on the box but just '24-70mm f2.8 DG HSM' on the lens itself.
