Great lens on the K-1. Barrel normally has a little wobble on a lot of them but it's nothing to worry about.

Don't think they will update the 15mm again, it's been done once already with the HD coating and the 14mm is (imo) dead in the water.

If you want a compact Pentax prime then the 15mm is it really, it's a good lens in most respects.

Can you get lenses converted?
They were all full frame lenses to begin with.

The problem with these particular lenses is that Sigma changed the mount slightly for some reason and when the K-1 and K-P were released the new mount was slightly too deep and caused the lens to scratch a line into the camera body. Sigma made a new mount and for quite a time would collect your lens, change the mount and return it for free. They also sent my K-1 back to Pentax Japan for a new body piece where the mark was.

Great company SIgma.

Off the top of my head ...

Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 OS HSM
85mm F/1.4 HSM
70-200mm f/2.8 OS HSM
50-500mm OS HSM
150-500mm OS HSM

As Chris said, pretty sure Sigma don't do it any longer though.

Finally, the price you are asking for the 28-105mm is too high, I have had one on Ebay at £350 for ages and I know I have overvalued that but I'm not sure I want to sell it yet.
Just to add, mine sold last night at £350 and has taken months.

As I said, wasn't sure if I should sell it or not so how about £300 incl postage for yours ?

Is it not missing the tripod foot?

Personally I have always rated the Sigma 180mm above most other macro lenses in Pentax mount but I have never tried one of these.

if it had the foot I would have gone for it.
