They most certainly illustrate the power and quality of the beast.
Good luck with the sale.

What you need are lenses, more lenses, bigger lenses, better lenses, faster lenses, vintage lenses and when you have these, your pictures will be perfect!
What year would this have been made?

makes my new 150-450mm seem puny
250-600mm = 5800g with tripod foot and (built in) hood.
Now you can see why I hate carrying it around
Seriously, I hope someone needs and wants it (BTW, might be worth advertising on the US forum as well).
How does this lens compare to the 150-450 with the DA 1.4x? Purely on a crop body of course.

Why not get out there with it and reap the rewards of owning it?
Anyone want to buy a beach hut in Mudeford, Christchurch?
Sorry to hear about the situation with your son Mike.

Good luck with the sale and all the best for your son.

Currently on a Pentax hiatus until an FF Pentax is released
Out of interest I always used that street light as a lens test, the idea being that it was a fair distance away so if I could see the ridges on the plastic round the bulb then the lens was just about dialled in correctly.
About 12 months ago the council changed all our lights to those horrible low energy things with covered elements that point directly downwards. Totally useless for me now

Reason for selling is that tbh is that a, I really don't get the opportunity to take it out and b, when I can I really can't be bothered to hump it around.
Price: Looking for around 5k with a meet up for the buyer to check over the lens or pick up and delivery at the buyers own arrangement and expense

Apart from this quick test I never used it with the DA 1.4x teleconverter but it would seem a pretty good match. 840mm
