Do we have any idea what level of weather resistance these new sigmas will receive? Will it be on par with DA* sealing?

My impression was the 12-35 will not be a DA* lens but a variable aperture DA WR lens with weather resistance equal to that of the WR kit lenses, not fully sealed like the DA* lenses. It really is a shame the tokina 11-16 F2.8 never came to be as a DA* lens. The rumored 10-16mm F4 that was speculated on in the japanese magazine a while back that got some of us excited would be even better.

Just curious, would sigma producing this lens now discourage pentax from creating something like a DA* 10-16 F4, seeing as the sigma is becoming a popular lens? I wouldn't think the 12-24 would make it unlikely seeing as we have both the 16-45 DA and the 16-50 DA*. A DA* weather sealed UWA is really missing in the lineup.
Also are patents always uncovered of future lenses before their release or is that not always the case?
