ok, so no hard feeling about that yet :-)
Still, is it gonna be Tammy or Siggy??

there are discussions floating around over how well SDM is working. A number of people are reporting focus accuracy or possibly quality control issues profoundly with the Pentax 16-50 SDM.

They are both very good.

Since I'm going to a concert of The Police,
I'm taking the plunge for a 2.8 zoom lens to 200mm
for my Pentax K10D. Which one should I get, guys?

Tamron SP AF70-200mm F/2.8
or
Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8

I would have gone with a Pentax lens but the new SDM is only up to 135mm

suggestions much appreciated!
