I used to have one of these, and it was ridiculously sharp and took gorgeous pictures. I consider it a must-have lens for Pentax. I could post a few portraits from my copy if you like. Good luck on your sale!

That would be great! I will try to take some new pics with it this week and do the same.

"Included are the lens, hood, and both caps." - what you see is what you get. There is a chance I have at least the pouch but no way to tell until summer, so I can't promise that now.

Added pics of the front and rear lens caps. Regarding the rear cap, I am almost 100% sure that's the correct one but I have other Sigma caps..
I never paid much attention to the logos on rear caps but undertand that it matters in a sale.

this is an amazing lens. i used it last weekend in low light concert shooting and wanted to do some "focal point" photography where you pick 1 area to be in great focus and the rest bokeh up.

https://scontent-lax3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/s960x960/80608517_304028604266...af&oe=5EA0ACFB

hopefully that translates. i need to use it more often but i don't often have the room to be a human zoom at a rock concert.

that said, this is an amazing lens and worth all the rave reviews it gets.

Here are a few pictures from my copy. If you click these smaller versions, it should load the full size version so you can see how ridiculously sharp this lens can be. These images were shot handheld with available light.
