I Have the A*300 f4. It's a nice lens but the minimum focusing distance is just under 4 meters - a little too far for some uses (nothing like stalking close to a subject - only to realize you are too close...) 300mm is not a focal length I use a lot, and when I do I usually use a zoom. If you plan to use the lens a lot the F or FA would probably be a better choice.
