Sigma 170-500mm DG on a K-1

Anyone try a Sigma 170-500mm DG on a K-1? I can't find sample pictures with that combo anywhere on this site or online.

It's not a very common lens. The 50-500 and 150-500 have far more K-mount users as far as I can see. The APS-C shots I've seen with it though look pretty decent. I've also seen a few shots on a Canon FF camera taken with the non-DG (previous) version, and they looked very good too. Depends on the price.

I have the previous, non-DG version and it works fine on the K-1. Decent at 500mm, better when used below that. I have not used it a lot but do have a couple of shots readily available, if that helps. Both of these were handheld.
