I bought the 16-45mm but always wondered about the Sigma 17-70mm so got one a few months ago and have to say I prefer the IQ of the Pentax lens.
Saying that I now have a DA* 16-50mm as well which is better than both.

Iceblinker has the Tamron and the quality seems ok but its just a personal preference at the end of the day.

I have one to sell but will not be back from Spain until Monday.
If you haven't found one by then give me a shout.

I got mine from an Ebay auction, it was advertised in a box of stuff along with various filters, a 50mm f1.7, Ricoh camera, Ricoh bellows and a zoom.
Got the lot for £75 with postage as it wasn't particularly well described..

Mike, happy hunting, the search goes on for you huh? I know you have been after one of these for a while.
I wouldn't say I have been searching for one for a while, every now and then I fancy trying one but something else always crops up to take my money (such is life).
Enjoy the TC and I look forward to seeing some pics taken with it

Just tried mine and it also does the same thing.
Never noticed before now .. so it's REALLY going to annoy me next time I use it.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention ...


Seriously though, never been an issue before I noticed so it won't be now.
