Pentax FA 20-35. Nice little lens. It's only fault is that the zoom range is not as wide as others you have mentioned. So walk forward or backward a few paces to compensate.

I'm becoming quite dissatisfied with my FAJ 18-35. The build quality just doesn't seem solid. When I use a polarizer, the front barrel slops around as I'm turning the filter, and it goes out of focus. It feels very mushy.

Has anyone experience with the Sigma 17-35mm f2.8-4 DG EX Aspherical zoom? Specifically the later DG EX w/77mm filter ring, NOT the earlier EX w/82mm filter ring.

I'm not really interested in Pentax's new DA lenses because I do still shoot film, and I want something that will work with my PZ-1P as well as my DSLRs. The FAJ 18-35 does that, but I'm considering the Sigma as a replacement due to the poor build quality of the Pentax lens.

The reviews I've read seem to indicate this is a solidly built lens, but I'd like to know anything the group might relate from experience using it.
