Excellent example on ebay #1208652938
it has everything
there are 3 of them actually, all under the Nikon section!
Looks like $1000 is average top price recently....one guy paid $1500, but
new from B&H is $2368
B&H AF Pentax 4699 but SMCP-A (manual focus) $5152
so ebay is less than 1/2 price
Ask if black model, guess that is latest generation paint
Who knows when Sigma will release their Pentax AF, guess you could call them!
I like mine....got from KEH for around $1400 so I knew I could return in 14
days if not pleased.
Make sure you get the 112mm UV filter, or add that to your cost.
I wore mine for a few hours last week at the zoo witha extra wide neck
strap...No real problems, I was suprised.
With my pentax 1.7aAF Telecon, this makes an awesome 510mm autofocus f5 lens!!!
If you were in the Houston area, I'd let you try mine....and when you got it
with the hood on it, people move out of your way when they see you coming!!!
