[COLOR="Red"][SIZE="Large"]Sigma 24-70mm Autofocus Lens[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"][SIZE="Normal"]Both the Pentax camera body and Sigma lens have been recently cleaned and are in LIKE NEW condition. The istD uses the same 6.1 MP sensor as the recently introduced K100D but has many more features and is slightly smaller and lighter. I love the camera but it's got to go to make room for a Christmas present - another Pentax, of course!
