SIGMA 50-500mm 1:4-6.3 APO DG urgent question

Hello. I have the chance to buy this lense i the next days, but i have a doubt: Will the autofocus work with my K10D? I read the 150-500 only works with K20D and K7, not elder models. Is the right with the Bigma HSM? Many thanks!

the point is moot anyway, k10d supports hsm

the lens will work

The 50-500 is not HSM. Both the 50-500 and HSM 150-500 work on the K10D. I've used them both on mine.

the K10D supports HSM, I don't know if the lens you are looking at is HSM or Screw drive but the K10 Will support it

Bigma works just fine with K100Ds throught the whole range, there's no reason why it shouldn't with K10D.
