With a budget of $1000 and some patience, you can get an excellent 300/2.8 and 510mm/f5 combination. It's the Tokina AT-X 300/2.8 (manual focus version) for about $850, plus the Pentax 1.7x AF Adapter for another hundred or so. By the way, the Pentax AF Adapter is a very good TC. I've used it with the K 200/2.5, A 200/4 Macro, and Tokina AT-X 300/2.8 with very good results. The Pentax 1.7x AF Adapter and Tokina 300/2.8 is on my list of "why I stay with Pentax." No other manufacturer anywhere allows me a 510mm/f5 lens for under a grand. -- John Mustarde www.photolin.com
