Thanks, J.C.
And yes . . . a Promaster. Some seem to think it's a re-badged Tamron,
and it does bear a striking resemblance:

I wasn't crazy about it after I first got it, but it seems to be a much
better match for the K100D than the K-x. And it takes surprisingly sharp
images.

So, I let the Oaxacan Hell Hound out the door a little while ago, at
which point he immediately spotted a hapless feline to torment.

K100D, Promaster 70-300 AF LD, f/5.6, 1/800, ISO 200
I thought it was reasonably sharp considering it was zoomed out to 260mm
and maximum aperture for that range. Plus, it provides fodder for the
japery of that one guy.
