Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG APO OS HSM for Pentax

I bought this lens at the beginning of this year, in hopes of doing some shooting of R/C Cars. (Remote Control)
This did not pan out, and the lens has sat in the case unopened and only been on the camera
which is my K5 one or two times, and even tried it on my older K10D.

You hate to get rid of such a nice lens, but I figure I am not going to get the use out of this,
and is not worth just laying around, when someone could be enjoying it.

I chose this lens over the Pentax or others, for the HSM and not the SDM that Pentax has,
that seems to have so many problems, and this is a FAST Focus, (one of the best I have seen)
Also chose it for the In lens Stabilization, of which you can cut the vertical off, or have
it stabilize both. Thought this would help in fast panning, from all I talked to that used this.

I put a Hoya Pro1 Digital Filter Protecor on it, the second I took it out of the box, so it has been
well protected.

I would call this lens about as close to "new" as you can get. Has all the paper work and boxes
with it.

I would rather sell this to someone in the lower 48 States to save on shipping.
