If you don't mind me offering my opinion, I have seen several of these sell online for around £200, and even at that price they don't sell fast.

The FL is also about 11% longer than other Pentax 300mm's partly due to it not being IF. I've got the A*300mm. For birds at 6m with the A*300mm I'd have to sneak up another 0.5m with the DA*300mm to get the same image size.

I didn't know that, Algi.....interesting fact. Now M* and A* might be the most compact 300mm out there, if maybe Olympus didn't make something more compact for their OM system...
