It looks like Pentax, (www.pentaximaging.com) has redesigned their web
site. Just a couple of months ago when I last visited the 20-35 was
still listed as current, now it's gone. I guess you'll have to look for
one used. They show up at www.keh.com fairly regularly.

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 don't think the difference between 18-35 & 20-35 would be that much
of a problem.
Availability might be more of a problem. I couldn't find the FA 20-35
listed at KEH, B&H, Adorama or on Ebay. KEH does have the Sigma lens.
I want to continue shooting film as well as digital, and I don't want
to have to buy two sets of lenses. Pentax just doesn't seem to offer
the lenses I want. They've turned their backs on Pentax film shooters.
But that's ok, because if they won't service the market, someone else
will. Sigma seems to be willing to.
Or, eventually I'll be forced to change brands.
