Wishful thinking, sadly. We're getting foisted with a lot of these

Mike! Don't you like it?? I think it's fab!!
It looks pretty
Yes, and that may be the best possible shot, or it may be what was infront of
the camera when the button was pushed. Note that your can check out many angles
and views without pushing the button. However from what I have seen digital
photographers are incapible of not pushing the button (grin).
I just purchased the above mentioned lens off ebay, for $334 + shipping. I
hope it turns out to be a decent lens and usable at around 7 pounds. Tripod
for sure, mostly for wildlife. Considering that a new Pentax prime with
the same numbers, not necessarially the same optical formula, goes
BO need a little bit of increase in saturation via PS.
It's obviously the lack of SMC. Next time, only SMC pinholes, Bill!

I believe the 500/4.5 only does stop-down metering too, which may or may
not
annoy you.

I find it a little annoying, but not $400 -$500 so...

Thanks Christian. I read the reviews. The 50 - 500 sounds like a decent
lens... I just purchased a 500mm f/4.5 Pentax prime off ebay.
We'll see how it works at close to 7 pounds.

That had better be the weight, and not the
$334 + shipping.

Something a little different
I never knew my lens had two foci! How do I clean them out?
