Originally posted by totsmuyco I bought a 10-20 mm 4-5.6. I would've bought the 18-300 for travel purposes if it were WR rated. The 150-600 would be nice if it were available in the k-mount.
I would've bought a 150-600 as well, and super up in the air on the 18-35...the reports of the wonky AF didn't impress.
Otherwise I've had my 10-20 f/4.5 for almost 10 years, and don't use it enough anymore to want to replace it with the 3.5. On one hand, Sigma making the news official isn't surprising, as the lack of new or updated lenses has been telling for years, although not a complete cessation like Tamron. To that end, I don't think this affects Ricoh, as they haven't grown the mount enough to keep those 3rd party vendors going anyhow.
But where I did like Tamron and Sigma is that they were simply cheaper or had focal lengths Pentax never carried.
