Smile Sigma's SD9 body with SA mount Vs Pentax PK mount

Just had a New but refurbished Sigma SD9 digi body only come on today's massive delivery at work...

This got me thinking, for not much more than £120 with all the clearance discounts added etc I could get my OWN digi SLR, and with a bit of nifty adapter work this MIGHT fit a PK mount, meaning I could manually use all my Tamron lenses by swapping my current Contax mounts for one PK one (which the wife already has fitted to her Pentax film kit)

The SD9 has some pretty impressive specs', including their interesting sensor technology...ok, so it's probably too slow for my use, and it's probably been sold since (the shop is open 'til 8, I finished at 5), so all this is probably hypthetical, but....

Anyone any thoughts/ experiences of sigma's digi bodies?

Has anyone tried modifying their PK fit (ie taking the stop down lever off) to fit the electric only Sigma SA mount bodies?

An open ended posting here, so peoples thoughts, experiences and opinions welcomed
