If Pirelli tires are as lacking in substance as their art

I've had two of them, and both were great. I use mine with the Pentax
1.7x AF Adapter a lot - it makes a great autofocus 510mm/f5 lens. With
a little practice you can handhold it from 1/250.

... it really is pretty sharp even at f2.8; it handles great; and
with the Pentax 1.7x AF Adaptor makes a superb 500/f5 lens that rivals
the FA* 600/4 in usefulness and image quality.
...folks, this 300/2.8 is the best bargain in big glass for Pentax...

and accessories have been bought second-hand, so Pentax has not really
generated much direct revenue from me.
That could change, though - if Pentax markets some Image Stabilization
fast long lenses and a DSLR, my wallet will open up pretty quick.

I fixed up a Pentax DSLR today - a Nikon D100 mounted on a Bellows K.
It allowed me to take some shots with my FA* 600/4 and 1.4 XL at what
looks like a focal length of 1260mm/f5.6. Follow the link below to see
today's results.

It would be a lot easier if Pentax would just sell me a DSLR.
