BH is taking orders for the Pentax A 400/5.6. Probably just existing stock. I
doubt if Pentax is turning out more copies, but you can still get a new one. Of
course you can get a used one for less than half the price of new.

I have the Sigma APO 400/5.6 in Pentax K-AF mount and I've been quite
happy with it. I haven't noticed any particularly tendency toward CA,
but I haven't looked for it, either.
Where might one find such a beast? [The APO 400/5.6 Macro] is not in
the current Sigma
Hi every one!
Is there any one on the list who owns (or used to own) a Pentax K 400mm
f5.6?
If there is I would be so obliged if you could tell me some things about
it, namely, how sharp it is wide open, and whether or not it has
noticeable CA (wide open).
I have found one relatively cheap

I've never used one, it's supposed to be a very good lens. Just
remember it's a manual aperture design.

It can be an okay bird lens with a short extension tube. Without
that, the K version of this lens won't focus close enough. The A
400/5.6 focuses much closer and will serve you better. Their both
just barely long enough for birding, but for those of us on a budget,
their better than
13 matches
