Tele lens confusion

I am looking at buying a tele lens for my istD and a little confused.
I have found a SIGMA 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG MACRO lens Pentax DSLR digital.
The seller said it will fit but it states it is my responsibility to ensure it is campable.
The more research I do the more confused I become.

Can anyone confirm if this lene will fit my istD? as I believe it will

I have the K100 and K20 not the *istD, but it does take the Pentax KAF2, KAF, KA mounts, and the Sigma is made with the Pentax mount. So yes, the lens should mount on the body just fine.

Sigma - Lenses

One of Pentax's claims to fame is its ability to use its entire line of lenses on their bodies.

Thanks guys,
as a newbie I thought it would fit but with model numbers everywhere and one lens labelled DG and another DL I got myself confused.
Appreciate your help.

Hey Interested observer,
I'm from Oz so excuse my brashness - no offence meant but I thought a town called Tumbleweed was a fictional place from a John Waynw Western (God bless the Duke!)

As long as it is a K mount version it will fit. I have that lens and have overall been satisfied with it. For the price you can't beat it.
