After several years of searching I finally found and won an eBay auction (150111393342) for a Pentax A*600/5.6 lens in pristine condition. I wanted it for my lens collection which now includes all of the A-series glass except the A*1200/8, which I've never seen for sale. It should be great for long shots over Lake Erie from the front porch of our summer cottage. It will be interesting to see how the SR of the K10D works with it - at a little over 3 Kg it might be marginally hand-holdable. I suspect that it will spend more time on my HD tripod, however.
This one was really hard to find - the only other time I saw one up for auction on eBay, I accidentally slept through the close of the auction and never got my bid in! This one cost a bit more than the earlier one but seems to be in better condition (fingers crossed). There is also an FA*600/4 up on eBay currently. but the price just makes my head spin!
