Well I have an A*300 f4.0 and a M*300 f4.0. They don't focus as close
as any of the later auto focus 300mm f4.0 or f4.5 * lenses but they are
lighter and quite a bit more compact. Apparent sharpness at f4 is very
good corner to corner especially on APS-C so if you need a super
telephoto and want to travel relatively light, they're a good option.

Shipping only to Europe for the equiv. of $525 (each). Includes
original case and hood. If you have a friend in Europe that would ship
to you (elsewhere), the DA* 300mm f4 is currently $1400.
Fortunately, I'm not tempted (mainly because I'm tapped out. Just
found an ultra rare PK mount Vivitar Series 1 90-180mm f4.5 Flat
Field, so I'm out of the market for a while).
