I realized Pentax may have made a big goof with their lens designations
with the A series. There was no designation for COMPACT fully
auto ("A") lenses. If there was, the A*300/4 would be the most
"M"ish "A" lens ever. I still cant believe how short it is. If I
knew that I would have bought it a long time ago. Pentax blew
it with their lens designations for sure. They should have called
the compact A lenses "MA" or something similar, not just A.
UNLESS, does A* mean compact A? I always thought it meant
high performance A, not compact A.
