All refractor 300mm or longer lenses should have a tripod mount. I don't
like hanging all that cantilevered weight on the camera mount.

Bob...

I may be wrong, but I think the bottom line is fair.
I am beginning to miss that light weight a bit though...
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 :-(
