I think that you did very well on the deal, my A300/2.8 cost me a damn site more than that. It is a great lens but the weight means that I don't get out with it a lot, unfortunately I seem not to have it with me when it would give me the most advantage (David has his 300/4 when we go trekking). I'm considering the purchase of a slower 300mm lenses at the moment but I can't understand for the life of me why they didn't provide a removable lens mount on the FA300/4.5 :-( Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
