With all due respect, and understanding that you're totally entitled to
your opinion, Paul, I own two Sigma lenses right now (24-60/2.8 and
17-70/2.8-4.5). They're good enough for me so much that I've sold DA*
16-50/2.8 and I don't regret it at all. In fact, I don't plan on buying

I've got three recent sigma pro-zooms in my kit that I work pretty
hard, generally 1000+ exposures per session and they have been
flawless, the only lens that I currently have out of action is a
Pentax. I do a lot of live performance work, the extra stop comes in
very useful when lighting is bad (w
Every Sigma lens i've owned was junk. Don't think I'd take a chance on a high
dollar one. That extra stop would be valuable if I were to shoot sports, but
that's not likely.

Thanks Bob.
K-7 sizes is what I would expect given the PEFs from the K10D. I think
the K20D (definitely the K10D) doesn't write compressed DNG, while the
K-7 does. The PEFs from the K10D are compressed, so they're smaller

I'd say the K7 autofocus is a wee bit better than the K20D in terms of rapid
lock in, but not a major difference. And while I haven't tested fully, it seems
more accurate in terms of no front focus or back focus right out of the box. In
terms of mechanics, I would say the metering is much better
