Well, there are many reviews of this lens out there, and with pretty mixed conclusions. Especially in the corner performance. The center performance is usually always good. And for many lenses. It would be interesting to see the same picture taken with different lenses. I noticed that you have few Sigma zooms, just it's not clear for which camera.

I have both Sigmas for both the Canon and Nikon mount. The 100-400 is my favorite lens for BIF so far, wish Sigma would release it for Pentax (aware they stopped supporting the mount, I think that's a mistake).

This lens is sharper than the Sigma, which is already at a very high level for its price, good enough that it's one of my favorite zooms of all time.

Now the 60-250 f/4 is giving it a run for its money!

Mount it on the Pentax 1.4x HD DA AF Rear Converter AW. You won't be disappointed!
