$550 sounds a lot for an M 400 5.6. I picked one up on Ebay recently, in
perfect condition, for £120 (approx $210)

I have a project I want to do. (I think I have mentioned in another
post.)
What I want to do is to make a photo documentary about the beach birds
in my
neighbourhood. My community is changing. Money talks and the local birds
are
not able to talk for themselves. If somebody doesn't speak up for them,
their daily bread will be under money making machines (read shopping
malls)
very soon.
We (those who want to preserve the bird's area) have registered 27
different
specimens. But knowing they are there is one thing, being able to show
them
to people is another.
To do this I need some long glass. The thing is that I'm on a tight
budget.
I have found a long old zoom at ebay. Looks like it will go cheap, real
cheap. If it's any good, it looks like a bargain. It is a Tamron
200-500/6,9. Most likely it is an adapt-all lens. Does anybody know what
I
can expect from this beast? It looks like it is in very good condition.
I have also found a Pentax M400/5,6. The seller asks 550USD. Believe I
can
talk him down a bit. Hope I can get him down to 300USD. Does that sound
like
a reasonable price?
I have also been looking for a Tokina 400/5,6. I haven't been able to
find
any with k-mount.
Ok. That’s my project, and ideas on how to make it come true. Does
anybody
have anything to add?
