They made an HSM version of the 100-300mm f/4 in Canon mount but not Pentax.

I have just bought a qnap Nas to use as a Plex server (amongst other things). Looks a decent little Nas.

I have always wanted to try the Sigma 300mm f/2.8, I imagine it should be a very good lens.
It has the same screwdrive focus as my 100-300mm f/4 and 180mm f/3.5 and they work well with the Pentax 1.4x although it is a crop teleconverter so you may get dark corners in FF mode.

Been fairly unlucky in this regard but it looks as though the front element is the only issue, and is relatively-easily accessible... Rubber rings time, here I come!
One of my first ever lens repairs was on a Sigma Super Wide II with fungus in the front element. I bought it for £30 but was refunded and allowed to keep it.

Both those lenses will only work in crop mode on the K-1.

If I remember correctly the non OS version of the 50-500mm in Pentax mount was not HSM so a mount from any broken screw drive Sigma lens in K mount may do the job.

I have to say that in these days of ever shinking Pentax retailers it's nice to see someone is still committed to the brand. Still, their loss is your gain hopefully. Some of the items are limited in terms of quantity available as a lot of kit was sold at the event.

Still too expensive for a crop lens (IMO)Would rather not Amazon, but that’s a serious discount on the 11-18mm.

Lets hope Mr Takahashi got a round in then., it's the least he could do considering the amount of money we have all spent with his company. PS: some of us decamped to the Weatherspoons pub a few doors along for coffee and bacon butties
