Specwise the Pentax is the same as the Tamron, eccept for the coating. Accoding to the Norwegian distributor the DA is a Pentax design. I don't know what they mean by this, I just report what I was told by them. It is reported as unknown lens in Lightroom. So it seems that the camera does not recognice it. That does not prove anything, but IMO it suggests that the basic design is done by another manufactor.
I bought the Pentax, mainly because I prefer my money to end with Pentax. Unfortunately it doesn't have QS. But it does have the polariser window. Thats nice. One more thing. The fokus is good at the K20D, but it is very slow at the ist* DS.
