Do you know if they're offering it with a Pentax mount?

It doesn't look like it, nor Sony/Minolta or Olympus. Sigma does tend to launch a new lens with large batches manufactured for Canon and Nikon and then follow up later with smaller batches for the 'smaller' marques, so there is hope

Just curious really. I'm still waiting for the Pentax 60-250mm F4 to be released - first mentioned earlier this year at PMA and was potentially due for release Dec 2007.
