The example I got was has a K mount. Interesting lens and very useful for its macro capabilities with a rather unique (to me) focusing system using two rings. Interesting look to the images. Heavy, well built.

| Pros: | Not too heavy, good portrait lens | | Cons: | Not too sharp | |
I mainly use this lens as a macro lens due to its reproduction ration 1:3 at 200 mm it is very convenient. In terms of sharpness it is not insanely sharp wide open. The other main feature of this sigma is the specific bokeh, double rounded bokeh somehow close to catadioptric lens. It is a good lens to have for a few bucks due to its special optics.
Some of the images could be found here.
