Re: Oooooooooh. KEH has a "big boy" lens
Well, I just did some test framings (never actually pushed the shutter button) in my dining room with the A* 300 f4. It's a jewel of a lens in terms of build and cosmetics, that's for sure, but the 4 meter / 13 foot minimum focusing distance is still a challenge. While i have hung onto this lens for years, I almost never use it. For smaller birds and wildlife you either have to be stealthy and get close, or use a longer telephoto to put you out of the circle of fear. It is best o get close, because then you do not have haze and other atmospheric distortions that degrade long distnace / mega telephoto shot, but getting close can be a lot of work. For a 300mm, for small birds (e.g. finches) or small mammals (e.g. chipmunks) tha tmeans being 10 to 6 feet away. A blind, bait, or invisibility cloak is probably needed, but it can be done with a little effort. In its day, the 13 minimum focusing distance would probably have been considered to be quite close, and one can always use extension tubes or close up diopters, but a closed focus distance would be more desirable IMO. The minimum focusing distance of the A* 300 f4 would be fine for larger subjects - deer, bears, athletes, etc... and on an APCS-C body it would probably be fine. I should probably use my sample more...

Re: Oooooooooh. KEH has a "big boy" lens
Clearly true. However, Flickr doesn't make this stuff up. It reads the tags assigned to the image. If somebody is lazy with their copy & paste (or for some other reason is not accurate in the use of their tags) then you are going to get incorrect results. That image has a "smc P-A 300mm F2.8 ED (IF)" tag. Garbage in - garbage out.
