you must have the quick release to adjust the balance point as you add and
subtract equipment such as flash, flash concentrator, and tele-extender.
yes, 600mm isn't adequate for a lot more than you think. if you are going
after small birds, you really want a 1.4X extender on it a lot of the time.
Pentax doesn't make a decent AF one, so you have to try another brand,
although the 1.7X AF might work, albeit slowly and not very reliably.

Will this do the job? The other two models that B&H lists seem only to
have quick release, which this model lacks. Is there any reason to want
quick release on a lens like this?
