I give the Tokina 400 f5.6 high marks. Excellent on APS C and also on
the K1. I have the one with the red SD on it. IIRC about $350 on ebay
for my current one. I bought one new in the late 90's for considerably
more, but that lens developed fungus.
On K3:
Now, that's a deal!

$20 with the extra shipping) thrown in with another lens, the A
35-105, that I was buying from a

Have you considered the bigma? I have the OS version and it is quite good

Looking to get a long lens
Debating between 3: Tokina AT-X 400/5.6, Tokina 500mm mirror, Tamron SP
500mm mirror.
Wouldn't mind another F* 300/4.5, but that might be just a little pricey.
Any other recommendations? AF is not a major concern.
And I think I'm going to shut down my darkroom.
