> Anybody know if any one makes a good 300/5.6 CAT?
How about a Pentax 300/5.6 ?

Or, a Pentax 500/8 ?

The Pentax 300/5.6 is a disaster. It was meant to be used as an angled spotting scope but came with a T-mount adapter to permit its use on a camera. Low saturation, very hot spot, etc. I sold mine as soon as I got my first results.
I'm not sure it was made by Pentax. Pentax was not "engraved" in any metal part if I remember well. The Pentax name is on a sticker.
