The way cool thing about the a* and m* 300mm/4 lenses that is often Not mentioned is they are super compact and lightweight. Shorter And lighter than any other kmount pentax 300mm lenses ever made. That matters A lot when you are talking about a 300mm lens and you want to hand Hold it. The A* performs well on digital, no CA or disortion problems, Great bokeh, and very sharp too.
