I have the older 300 F4 (smct) and it's EXCELLENT just like all of the P67 lenses I've bought. Yeah, the minimum focus isnt that great, but thats why I bought the ext. tubes. The 300 is very hand holdable and really sharp. I paid $600 for mine in mint condition at ebay. I would recommend it VERY highly for the money. I do not think I will buy anything longer for the 67 as the cost and bulk of the longer lenses is just too much. For long lengths, I'm gonna stick with 35mm. That why I just bought the 135-600 for 35mm. JCO - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
