Well I've decided to start collecting money for a purchase of a *ist-D, (or it's successor if takes too long). So I'm going have to part with some of my gems and some surplus equipment that I never use. My 300mm M*. I've been very happy with it but I use it mostly for nature photography and it wouldn't be fast enough metering with the *ist-D limitations so it's the first to go. I'm asking $379.00 for it. Now while it's in very good condition it is a user lens which begs to be used. Most of you probably know all about it but it you need to know the full specifications you can check out Boz's site.
I've used it for a couple of my pug contributions but the one below is the most spectacular.

In my copy the Glass is clean and clear, the aperture ring turns smoothly and clicks
positively into it's stops. The focus action is smooth as butter. Aperture is snappy.
The lens comes with a Pentax rear cap and generic front cap. I don't currently have
a paypal account but checks and money orders will be accepted. Whoever wants it will
have to pay actual shipping and insurance.
I've also posted a couple of shots of the lens here. It hurts to let it go but I hope someone will give it a good home.

Needless to say if no one wants it after a week it'll be going to e-bay.
I drink to make other people interesting.
