Should anyone be after a Pentax A* 1200mm there's one located in Redcar available on eBay.

Price not too bad at under £5K (by a penny.)
I'd love it but don't think i can justify it! Not sure what I'd use it for other than weight lifting practice (8.5 Kg.)

Now THAT would bring poser superiority to any Canon-infested bird hide! Pity it doesn't come with a trolley to wheel it around with though. Sample photos look stunning. Mmmm, might get a job sneaking that in unnoticed though.

Fortunately we have separate wardrobes, not much room for clothes in mine

So, if you put the 1.7 Autofocus TC on it you will effectively have a 2040mm AF telephoto... Perfect for taking migrating swallows from the UK as they cross France then.

2 stops faster than my current 1000mm & MUCH better IQ.
Very tempting except the price is somewhat more than my lens fund has available...
