Arrgh, a few weeks too soon. I shall Watch it though; a quiet zoom would be handy at times.

I don't think the Pentax mount has Optical Stabilizer. I think that's just for Canon or Nikon. Anyway, seems like a good buy if you're looking for this range.

Sigma did release a few for pentax with OS. Good for video since the in body stabilization for video is horrible for pentax.

Agree. Makers assume Pentax will handle stabilisation in body but they haven't offered any real sensor stabilisation since the k-5 and k-7 days.

Anyone confirm these are actually stabilised in Pentax mount. Earlier ones were but not the later ones from memory.
