Sadly, yes they are. They simply don't understand that once the hard steel of the Sigma mount has scratched the K1 - it now has the clearance it needs and will do no further damage to the camera. The fact that this thread continues to lengthen ought to be enough to tell you that people don't understand what is going on.

Administrator, this thread needs to be closed and erased. We have people talking about taking a Dremel tool to their cameras.
The thread needs to be replaced with a sticky that says Certain Sigma Lenses may cause a barely visible scratch on some K1 bodies. These are the lenses. Sigma acknowledges this is their fault and is working on a fix. DO NOT DREMEL YOUR CAMERA. YOU WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND VERY LIKELY DAMAGE THE CAMERA BY GETTING TINY METAL CHIPS INTO IT. A dremel tool will cause a thousand times as much damage to the camera as mounting an interfering Sigma lens. |

I think this is a tempest in a Tea Pot. Meh - a Sigma lens may or may not put a scratch on a K-1 body. According to Sigma - they might. According to the people who have put the lenses on - they don't. Now it is possible that manufacturing tolerances might come into play here, and since Sigma doesn't know Pentax's manufacturing tolerances - Sigma is just being cautious and trying to cover their bets.
Bottom line - if your lens doesn't bind you're fine.
