Hi Rob I've been pretty busy myself, the current financial climate here doesn't help. The OS is new to Pentax and Sony, the 120-400 originally didn't have OS, but as of yesterday it does with a slight price increase, or should that be a decrease of the old non-OS model. From Sigma UK I can see 17-70 HSM OS, 150-500 HSM OS and now 120-400 HSM OS. I agree with your comment on full frame but will refrain from commenting on the loss of aperture ring for fear of starting a heated debate.

Hi John, I've been semi-lurking lately, I'm pretty busy so I just don't have time to read all posts so much gets archived without being read unfortunately. Digging further into the Sigma site I found the following: * For Pentax and Sony mount, OS function is not available * Nikon & Pentax Mounts: Does not have aperture ring On the positive side it is full frame.
