Who are you to decide what's good enough for me? I appreciate everybody's help but I can investigate on this as long as I want.

lol

This should all be academic anyway. Why would somebody buy a Pentax 50-135mm f/2.8 for $900 on Amazon, when they can buy the superior Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 from me for less in the Marketplace???

Because of the warranty of course...

How very ironic...buying a Pentax lens for the warranty. I would take a used Sigma HSM lens over a new Pentax SDM lens with a one year warranty.

The 7yr Mack warranty sounded pretty good to me. Your sigma is a gem. I know. I thought of it for a while...

I can vouch for Mack Camera warranties. I bought a used Epson PT-AX100U projector on eBay a while back for $406, and the previous owner had a Mack warranty which I was able to get transferred to my name. When the projector later failed on me, Mack sent me a $1000 check for the price of a new one. (They had also given me the option of having them send me the new model, the PT-AX200U.)The whole process took a few weeks, but other than that it was fairly painless.

When I bought my Sigma 50-150mm new, it came with the Sigma EX 4-year warranty, but I went ahead and bought one of the Mack Camera 7-yr warranties since I'm sure I'll own the lens at least that long.
