Also, where is the rear element during focusing? At any point, does it come

The rear element is fixed, but recessed inside so it should be okay.

I think I know what you mean. I was there few years ago but it was closed at
the time. There were a few animals wandering freely inside.

I was there last summer. The aquarium was very nice. I think there was a
small children's petting zoo
I think it would be a wonder safari lens, but I wonder if any serious
shooters actually bought one for the purpose. To be a little OT, the F* has
a double deck hood which is a lot deeper than the FA*.

Intersting. This is one big lens. I believe, I
I think it is SCA372.

So if I exchange my digital SCA unit for an analogue one, I get better
results in TTL (at ISO400)?
What SCA unit are you using, a SCA371? (If that exists, its just a
guess)
I use a SCA3701
If I am correct, 3702 was designed so that it fits on flashes with smaller
mount like 54MZ4. For flashes with bigger mount like 40MZ series, both 3701
3702 will work (3701 is too big to fit 54MZ4). 372 is the analog mount for
LX, Super A/Program 645, but works on AF bodies too.

I wonder if pin sharp result are possible with setup like this. Last time I
tried, my Z-1p was hopeless with 300/4.5+2X due to mirror/shutter vibration
even though the shutter was 1/250s on tripod. :-(

Who said Pentaxes weren't tough
The FA100/2.8 has appeared on eBay quite regularly so with a little
patience, you might get a good price.

Hello Alan,
It looks nice.
Psychologists say that if you put that question, then you are not.
I say never trust a psychologist grin.
