If I had the A*300/4, I would probably be content as well. But I haven't had a 300 since I sold my SMC Tak 300/4 a few years back. And since I shoot both cars and nature, I'd like a lens in that focal length. Sometimes my A 400/5.6 is just too long. That extra stop is great to have as well. If I were a wealthy man, I'd want an even faster long telephoto, but $1299 is pretty much my ceiling on lens expenditures. However, I'm thankful that it's going to be that affordable.
