Opinions on: Sigma 120-400mm F4.5-5.6 OS HSM APO Pentax Please

Hi guys,

So I have found this Sigma 120-400mm f4.5-5.6 APO OS HSM for Pentax K Mount here in Barcelona (actually the next city out of Barcelona) for the ridiculous amount of 220€ and i am going to see it tomorrow and most likely buy it to be honest.

I think I remember seing some for sale at, at least, 600€.

If AF and optics are as nice as in my Sigma 100-300mm f4 APO, then it's a complete gem but I have never ever used one.

Did you guys ever used one of those? If so, do you recoment them?

I mean for the price is a bargain I believe, and I know that if I don't like it I can re-sell it and try go go for a Pentax D-FA 150-450mm that is also for sale in Barcelona (but that one is pricier).

One thing I dislike from the Sigma is that it does not have a focus limiter, so I guess AF even if it's accurate can take a while to recompose. A great point in favour of it is that it has 2 stabilization modes and I have read that they work great.

Thank you guys,

So I bought it.

It does not pair well with the Pentax 1.4x TC.
