I've not looked at Sigma's own mount, but their caps are the same ones they use for Pentax marked 'FOR SA/KPR' so it must be the same bayonet.
Same or similar. Either way a little more info link

Best regards

It is a FF lens so you would get the equivalent FOV of a 24-45mm. Your not too far of the 20-40mm Pentax and actually the 20mm end is a lot more useful than the 24mm.

My greatest concern about this astro photography is polar alignment. A few work colleagues who use telescopes say that it's not easy to align in the southern hemisphere. So I need to give it a try and go for it.

The above image is still good. It's a large step in the right direction.

A great set as I can relate closely to these. The third image just sums up WA for me. A run out means looking at roads like this. Just so much space and a complete opposite to Europe.

I really like the first two images. The first three are Ausy through and through.

These are great Don They do look a little bright on my screen compared to your other work. The second image may depict laziness or promiscuity?

A local machine shop could use a slit saw but not through the prism. An interesting study. This could take many years?

We hit 37'C today at Cottesloe.

I went the Havaianas Thong Challenge link

Very busy and another world record (as announced at the event).

As usual, I met up with a few other photographers that are there each year. Easy to spot as they are female Canon shooters who have no idea what working light feels like.

Excuse the shots of the Canons but Oz is multicultural!

The Z attracted a lot of attention.

Good detail shown and non intrusive background due to DOF.

The lens used for these was a Sigma 10-20mm on the K3.

The Z, K3, K5 IIs and a FF with 70-200mm were in the rear along with a tripod and other kit. All were in their own bags and no damage to any kit Nigel. Only myself in the vehicle.

So today is Ausy Day and it now means using the motorbike to get out and about with the cameras.

Thirty eight degrees forecast for today and forty for tomorrow, psychologically wrong figures for January.

Best regards.
