But, unfortunately, the AF/MF clutch in the F* does not work in the same
way it does in FA lenses. In the latter, when you disengage AF in the
lens, it also switches off the AF motor in the camera body (Z series and
up), but with the F* 300 mm. 4.5, you also need to put the AF switch in
the camera in "manual" position.

The F* version also has the (highly desirable, in my opinion) AF/MF
clutch, just as the FA* version, so that, with the F* version, one
indeed can also "have it all" - .

tripod collar (add-on?)

2002-01-04 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED] 

I'm sure this question arises time and again:

Does someone sell a tripod collar or ring that you can install on a telephoto such as 
the Pentax 300/4.5 FA? I figure that by buying the FA and adding a tripod collar, I 
can combine the F's tripod capability with the FA's MF/AF clutch and have it all.
