It's a manual aperture lens, which means you have to stop down to meter, but I've never found that to be much of an inconvenience I shot with it on the *ist D last weekend and had a great time.

If it doesn't sell by Thursday, it goes on ebay. A few examples of shots I've taken with this lens follow. (All but the first and last were in combination with the A 2X-S converter. The last was with the *ist D, so the angle of view is that of a 600mm lens on a 35mm film camera.) Big glass at a budget price. Shipping and insurance is ten bucks in the US, actual cost elsewhere.

Re: SMC Pentax 400/5.6
It's the K series. Physically and optically it's quite similar to the M. It doesn't focus quite as closely and it doesn't have the automatic aperture, but it's a very fine lens. If you or anyone else would like to discuss the sale of this lens further, please contact me off list.
