RE: Pentax-A 300mm f2.8
Oh yes. These are the current index prices for used equipment according to FotoMagazin i Germany. The list is on-line and called Fomag liste - prices in Euros ( a bit more worth than a US Dollar, at the present time). The prices are based on the actual market. In Denmark the prices used to be even a little higher (before trading on the internet was too common). Its funny, though, that the street price of the FA lens is so much lower than the list price. I guess nobody buys from the official importer anymore. They actually want 3000 USD for a MS-S with a 24-90 lens!!! I can buy it for almost 1/3 in the US. But then there's the Danish 25% VAT. When I buy from the US they charge me sometimes - maybe once out of ten times (Of course it's illegal not to pay VAT). You can buy a car for what they charge you for af FA 2.8/300mm!

RE: Pentax-A 300mm f2.8
In Europe: 2500 Euro equal to appr. 2875 $ (SMC FA* 2.8/300mm EDIF). The FA version is listed(used index; FomagListe) to the exect same price. So, 1100 is at least half street price! Regards Jens Sorry - thought you meant the FA version. JEns Hi Photographic equipment is quite expensive in Denmark. Here, the list price (FA 2.8/300mm) is about 73.000 Dkr, (incl 25% VAT) - which equals about 11.300 $ (USD) (A few years back it was just 6.000$). I'm sure it's a little cheeper in New York Camera (Germany) or Adorama. But 1100 USD is VERY CHEEP - buy it now, if you can.

Re: Pentax A* 300mm F2.8
Guys. The FA lens manual states that the filter holder should be in place as it is designed to work as part of the optical system.

The FA* super telephotos have filters as standard and part of the optical system whereas the A* superteles do not; at least not the A* 300/2.8.
