Apparently it doesn't have an aperture and no tripod mount. What a beast

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I keep looking interestedly at these:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/500mm-f8-0-Lens-for-Pentax-istDL2-istDs-istDL-istD_W0QQite...
A few sellers have them, I hear they're not particularly good lenses but I'm open to being persuaded either way. They're a bit too expensive to buy on the offchance that you'll get some good results (as opposed to "Lens in a Cap" and cheap Russian glass where it's worth the money for a few hours fun playing with it).

A manual focus lens of gigantic proportions that may be very difficult to use. Not the thing for rapid action shots, that's for sure.
I wouldn't waste my money. You'd be better off with the Pentax 55-300mm and cropping the image.

Yep, or my old Pentax-F 100-300mm and doing the same. Pity, as those giant telephotos do look cool!

I wonder if it's long enough to meet peoples needs for long lenses
it seems to be T-mount, goodness know what it's like, personally I'd be somewhat dubious as to the quality or usability, but hey, it's there ...
