Fun fact, Thunderbird wants to correct Enablement to Enfeeblement, could
be more right than I want to admit.
Back to my original point. I just received my "new", refurbished
actually, Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 from KEH.com along with a Pentax silver
(MZ/ZX), strap, with snap pockets, which are just the right size for SD
cards. Both are now proudly on my K-3. It's a late birthday present
early Christmas present to myself.
I'll post a mini review after I have a chance to play with it a bit.
However, my first impression is pretty favorable. This lens is one fat
stubby little sucker. The finish is typical Sigma, feels solid in the
hand, rubberized everywhere, focus and zoom rings are well damped,
there are no hard stops on the focus ring.
Just off the bat, it would be nice if there was a mark on the zoom ring
where the lens is at it's minimum physical length since that's somewhere
between the 17mm and 14mm focal length marks.
I've fired a couple of shots using the K-3 just to see if everything is
working correctly and it seems to be.
So why didn't I get the Pentax DA* 11-18 f2.8 or Pentax DA 12-24 f4.0?
Well price of course in the case of the former. The KEH.com
refurbished Sigma was Less than a quarter the cost. The 12-24 has now
become difficult to find, and the price for a "New" Sigma lens was
outstanding so I have a new adventure.

Any idiot can shoot with a Canon, Nikon, or Sony, it takes a special kind of
idiot to use a Pentax.
