Another question is:
Can shots be done handheld with the f/2.8 ? Any chance?
I'm always trying to go for the 1/4000s (fast moving objects) or even
faster, but the weight could be an issue, what do you think?

I didn't have any problem hand holding the A* 300/2.8 lens
But why would you want to handhold such a big heavy lens? At least use a
monopod. Why buy such an expensive lens and then not maximize it's capabilities by
handholding it? Sure, if you have to hand hold it a few times that's one
thing, but I would never buy such a lens with hand holding in

This summer I've done a lot of shooting with my F*300mm f/4.5 lens wide
open and IS0 400 and ISO 800 film - the shots turned out very nice but
the grain now bothers me.
You need the extra stop. Go for

Explain it to us again. What exactly are you shooting that you need a fast

overkill no matter what you are shooting.
Well, okay.
I'm shooting aerosport models.

Hi,

As I described in my earlier post I'm planning to do aerosports shooting
with it - very fast moving objects.
A lot of shooting is done right overhead, I'm trying to capture fast
objects in flight with some fps - it's sometimes
Vic is right. IMO there can only be 2 possible reasons for buying a 300mm
2.8 lens:
1. You need the extra stop over a much cheaper f/4 lens, notably for
sport or (say) rock concerts or whatever (where flash may not be
appropriate)...
... or if you plan to use it with a TC

I've used the A* 300/2.8 both hand-held and on a monopod. Hand-held,
it's really not

Hello all you big glass experts,
what do you think would be a fair price for such a lens?
I've seen the SMC-A version for 1.800 EUR
and the newer SMC-FA for about 2.700 EUR.
I purchased my SMC-A 300mm F2.8 along with my A2X-L
teleconverter for a little less than $2000 US about 3 years
ago.

I bought mine for $2000 USD in around 1990 and sold it for under a
thousand to a dealer in around 2000. The MFs are pretty rare so they are
likely to cost more
. The
200mm came out on top but surprisingly the Tamron came out a head of the M*
at both f/4.0 and f/8.0. I looked at sharpness, contrast and color
rendation.
