For sale : Pentax A* 300mm f2.8. Excellent condition considering age, has a few marks on the body but the glass is spotless and everything works as it should. Comes with rear cap/front protector, metal Pentax case and protective filter.

I also have the 1.4X-L and 2X-L teleconverters available (and maybe the 1.7X AF converter) for a negotiable amount should anyone be interested in the lens.

Really is a superb, one of Pentax's best .. gets 9.8 on Pentaxforums user reviews.

Will do some photos tomorrow .. am looking for £1500 plus delivery.

I'm now trying to figure how I can raise that much cash! Sadly, I'm not sure I can

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Is the lure of the 560mm kicking in

This is the set you bought off Richard? Hope you don't mind me posting the photograph. Richard didn't have a flickr or similar account so I put the photo up for him and it's been on my flickr account ever since.

Cheers, Kris.

No problem Kris, I have the same photo but wanted to do some that were a bit more up to date.

Please note .. this is a manual focus lens but if you have (or are willing to buy) the AF 1.7x converter it makes a superb semi af 500mm f4.5

Still for sale.

I am the same as Guido, I have been able to retry the password of my old account. I had sent you a PM, in any case I am in Italy.

Sorry but on this occasion I won't send the lens to Italy.

I don't normally mind but due to the value and weight I think I will pass this time.
