Yes, that's right Kenneth. When I bougt my brilliant F 70-210mm the guy had one of those too for sale. He was a photographer and said it was very sharp (which is true). But I didn't have enough money that day :-( I have regretted not buying this ever since. It's better than many later Pentax zooms. But I guess my whife will find it too bulky :-( I kinda hope Pentax will make a new zoom, no thicker than lets say 25mm :-)
