Comments about Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 APO Macro Super DG Lens - Pentax Fit:

Bought this lens to replace my earlier, manual focus one. Always thought that Sigma APos were good but this one was a vast improvement on their earlier attempt.
It is sharp, contrasty and gives you a superb range to play with from near macro to long telephoto.
If shooting sports, it's better to up your ISO to 200 which then gives you a 70-300 2-2.8!!!
All this for a budget price.
Have been looking through my results at 100% enlargement and with the odd exception, they are amazing.
The only downside I have found is that, at the long end, you can find split prism screens may darken. But this is due to eye placement so if you move your eye position on the viewfinder a little it should clear, although this is not such a big issue in autofocus mode.
Also it can seem a bit fiddly as you have to flip a slider to go into "macro", but that said, I found no noticeable tromboning when pointing the lens down, something that always happened on my older manual version.
In all, an excellent lens at an excellent price!
