Yeah, I just did some browsing in the Pentax A lens catalogs and they made a bunch of HUGE A* lenses so A* couldnt have meant compact A. they had no designation for compact A lenses, let alone compact A* lenses, that is bad! They should have called them MA and MA* in my honest opinion, but that might have been confusing, but so is making really new compact A lenses that you used to designate as new compact (M)and then you stop designating them as new compact. This 300 A* F4 lens is amazing in the compactness of it's length. I wouldnt have even thought it was possible for any 300mm lens, let alone a really good 300mm lens..
