Sigma announced this lens for the K-mount in August last year, along with the rather interesting-looking 150mm 2.8 macro.
You can see the details of both of them on Sigma's website.

Still waiting however ...

I think B&H are getting confused with this link But it's still not in Pentax mount.

Yes i thought that until the specs said 180mm filter thread Size 82mm ,
Specs for 150mm filter thread Size 72mm unless there all typo errors.

Don't know, I thought they might be mixing it up because the old version was 180mm

Will be waiting until hell freezes over for the 120-300mm f2.8 to be released in Pentax mount. They haven't even made it for Sony so we stand no chance.
No equipment list here .... move along the bus please.

Still if it happens then great, I will save up for one.

Many lenses both K-mount and M42. Many Bags, Interfit strobes and constant. LR3 and CS6.
