Iīm kind of an outdoor guy and I often carry a long lens in the backpack. Yes, they are heavy, bulky and all that, but I find it convinient to have one with me anyway (no kidding )

Now this absolutely wonderful, shiny, autofocused beauty turned up and I cannot get it out of my mind. FA* 400/5.6.....

I already own an A* 300/4 and an A- 1.4 converter so I probably shouldnīt be interested anyway, if it wasnīt for the autofocus.

What would you do?

What would the going price be on the market for this one in superb condition?

As much or as little as anybody is prepared to pay for it. These are as rare as hen's teeth and in good condition, will always be a sought after lens. Price tag will probably be in thousands of pounds, rather than hundreds.

Oops... Well I listed my SMC 15mm (with the sought after "4" on the distance scale) for sale and the guy offered me this one as payment. Heīs collecting SMC (K) lenses and I wanted the 400. Win-win situation as I see it. And I still have my A-version of the 15mm, so....

Superb lens, by the way!
