Sigma wanted £50 to upgrade the lens... I decided against that and asked if they would change the mount from F to K - No, they said. So, I will sell it (for a fraction of what Mike is asking for his K-mount version)

I'm pretty sure you bought it at a fraction of what I paid for my K-mount version as well.

Personally I think £50 isn't too bad since they include return postage, it's hardly Sigmas fault Nikon started messing up third party lens compatability ... I would certainly pay it.

Thanks for the comments, must admit RIAT is possibly my favourite event of the year and although I moan sometimes about Pentax AF speed and tracking I get more than enough shots to keep me occupied.

I like how the winner can cost £8750 (£17500 in todays money) yet a £230 lens can be a close contender

On the plus side todays new price for mine is approx £460 so this is less than half price ... BARGAIN!

I realised that I hadn't posted any pictures from RIAT this year so here are a few (of many) taken with both the K-1 and K-3II using the Sigma 100-300mm f/4 with Pentax 1.4x WR and the Pentax 150-450mm WR.
