It seems heavy compared to most modern lenses but it's only 20% heavier
than the A*300 f4.0 and I've not noticed any real problems when that
lens is mounted on the *ist-D or Ds and it doesn't have a tripod
socket. Maybe the extra 200 grams or so might make a difference but I
doubt it.

Just received my K 4/300 mm and, looking at the thing, I'm wondering if
the bayonet of my K10D and its tripod bushing will withstand the load if
I use this lens on a tripod.
Until now, I've been using my old Pentacon 300 mm lens which had its
own tripod collar.
Any ideas or experiences from list members?
