Good deal, that. I wonder how it compares to the proper DG version?

Actually I got it wrong, it's the MKI DG version, from the pictures it looked like just the APO.

From my limited testing (and having had multiple copies of the MKII DG lens) it compares very well indeed. Every time I sell my 100-300mm f/4 I regret it as they really are a superb lens.

Hope someone here snagged it.

You cost me money nearly every time you post ... arrived this morning, fantastic condition for the age.

Thanks for the heads up

Not the DG version though.

FFordes have a habit of describing Sigma lenses wrong where Pentax are concerned ... they advertised my 500mm as HSM.

Think I have had every top end camera Pentax (Ricoh, Hoya) have produced starting with the K10D up until my K-1 and I never held one of them in my hands before purchasing.

Same goes for the other brands I have tried.

For sale is my Tamron AF SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di LD MACRO lens, it is in excellent condition however there is some rubbing to the tripod collar foot knob which seems fairly common. It comes boxed along with the case, hood and caps.

Ideal lens if you don't want £1000+ tied up in a Pentax 70-200mm 2.8

Asking £395 incl UK postage
