Major Enablement: FA*300 f4.5
At least to me it is major! I've bee reading about all over for this great lens. After losing out on one in an eBay auction a few months back by being too cheap to bid a decent price for it, I was really wanting very badly to add this one to my collection. Finally, I decided that I would pull the trigger on an as brand new condition one that I had known of a source for some time, but didn't want to pay the big dollars. I ended up paying probably too much for it, but considering what some of the prices have been lately for fine Pentax glass, I figured that for an excellent copy of this lens it would be money well spent. Now I see for myself what the hype is all about. The only complaint I have with it is the lack of a tripod collar. Here if one of my first images with the lens taken with my *istDS: http://i.pbase.com/o4/87/63987/1/57940041.FA3003.jpg JayT

It is really beautiful lens, small and light for its focal length and max aperture. Have a lot of fun with it! -- Balance is the ultimate good... Best Regards Sylwek

Jay, I think you're going to enjoy this lens. I've had one since the late 90's - its one of my most used lenses. I too would like it to have a tripod collar but I'm very satisfied with the results as is.

Congratulations! I like that focal length. Have enjoyed using my M*300/4 for a while now. --- Jay Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At least to me it is major!
