Alling <webstertwenty...@gmail.com> To: Collin Brendemuehl <coll...@brendemuehl.net> The M/A* f4.0 300mm lenses are very compact. Some of us value that. In fact the A* and F 1.7x AF adapter don't take up a lot more room in my bag than does a cheap 500mm mirror lens. Now the mirror is a lot lighter but with the lens and adapter combination I get to have two focal lengths, and though the lens can be a little soft wide open, I've gotten a lot of good shots with it. I also paid about 100 dollars less than current asking prices apparently. On 6/7/2017 9:38 AM, Collin Brendemuehl wrote:
It seems odd that one might pay $475 for the Pentax A* 300/4 when a newer quality Sigma AF APO 300/4 can be acquired for $300. Sure, the A* is built like a tank. But I'm not going to war with it. With all the APO optics improvements I would think the A* (but for collectors) would be a lot cheaper?
