I've been watching these same lenses on Ebay for some months, and there have been quite a few on offer. I'm sure I've seen different 'brands', but I suspect they are all made in the same factory.
I would love to have this lens for my wildlife photography, but as yet can't afford it. Yesterday, I took a load of pictures of a pair of Bald Eagles taking turns sitting on the nest or feeding their young. I used a 400mm Vivitar, and 500mm Centon Mirror Lens, but these were not really adequate. My new metal hood on the 500mm, plus using mirror lock-up(SPF) and two tripods gave me a much better result. When I have time, I will scan a few shots and put them onto my web page. James - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
