Hi all;
I recently purchased a 300f4.0 (k) lens from KEH. After having lost several
Ebay auctions, I just couldn't get the bad taste out of my mouth any other
way! Argghhh! That 300m* on Ebay just did not find its way into my
collection. I will be receiving my 300f4.0 in a few days and was wondering:
1. According to Boz's site, the optical formula is 7 elements in 5 groups
while all the subsequent 300 lenses were 7-8 or 7-9. What specifically
would more elements correct? Chromatic abberation? Pincushion? I am going
to put the lens through some tests and thought I might look rather closely
at what pentax thought was its shortcomings.
2. Should I expect a tripod mount with this particular lens?
3. I could not find any specific info and the smc tak version to compare it
to, but have seen the positive reviews it gathered a few weeks ago on this
list. Would this be one of the kmounts which is essentially a redone
screwmount lens?
Any comments would be appreciated.
thanks much
dave
