swhang Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Atlanta, GA Photos: Albums Posts: 28	Sigma 70-300mm vs Pentax 55-300mm I have the Sigma 70-300mm (non APO) and am reasonably happy with it. However, I just got the K7 and there is a rebate for the 55-300mm. Does Pentax 55-300mm offer a significant quality increase over the Sigma 70-300mm (non APO)? It's about $200 more for it, but if the IQ is far superior, then I would want to upgrade, especially with the rebate in mind. Also, does anyone know if a TC is available for the Pentax 55-300mm? Preferably one that I could still us AF with?
