RE: Image stabilizers on Pentax

[Iren & Henry Chu]

Sigma has received the news very late and they have to delay the launch of the Nikon/Canon version of the OS lens to make final adjustment for suiting the specification of 4 mounts.

Regards,

Or just that the pentax version doesn't have the OS?

Seriously, I doubt that Sigma would be able to get the specs from Pentax
before release.  They normally have to pull things apart and work it out
for themselves, don't they?

Unless all they need from the body is current, and they can get it from
the PZ contacts...?
