SIGMA 70-200mm F2.8 question

jake14mw · 03-26-2010, 01:21 PM

Hi everyone. It's been over a month since Sigma announced the updated version of this lens. Has anyone seen anything about when it will be availalable in Pentax mount? Or if not, is there a certain time period that it generally takes between Sigma's announcements, and availability? I'm actually more interested in the current Sigma 70-200, and I'm wondering if when this is released, will it cause the price of the existing one to drop? I'm thinking that if the new one is hundreds more, that the price of the existing one might stay the same.

If anyone one has any guesses or opinions on this, I'd love to hear them. Thanks.
