First I have heard of the PMA. Is it an association for stressed women?
Ah come on you don't know it!
Shame on you, most of the time Pentax introduce their new stuff their.

PMA stands for Photo Marketing Association International that is an International Convention and Trade Show that is hold in Las Vegas every year.

What kind of sport do you want to shoot with it?

The problem is the aperture which isn't really fast with most of them.
The DA*60-250 is one of the faster one but doesn't have the reach like you said.

BTW the IQ of the DA*60-250 is very good, it was the pre-production models that had some problems but have heard only good things about the lens beside the what slowish SDM focus.

I think your best bet would be the 120-400mm
Or the Sigma 100-300 and use the 1.4 teleconverter from them to extend the range when needed.
For sport I don't think you need more then over 300mm

Once again wonderful photos

Andrew Bokeh is something quite personal, so what someone consider as bad might do wonderful in a photo.

The photo from Doug is one of the lesser pleasant Bokeh.
You can see in the top middle the halo/doughnut shape disks and those make the photo quite nice now but it can just as easily make the whole blurred background far too busy.
What we want to see is a evenly light distribution over the disk or a brighter core.

With your photos it's quite hard to see with what kind it's build up so can't say.

David, I like what the FA 70-2200 has done with the hard background. Certainly the ground is hard to render and the lens did well.

Bob I've look at that lens and did you know it isn't even a true macro but a 1:2
Stunning lens though from what I've seen.

The shop had 5 Carl Zeiss lenses so it could be they also had that one so will give it a try as well just for the fun.

Don, will be looking forward to that!

Will your photo looks very nice and not just the bokeh!
I believe the older lenses have a better bokeh then the newer one because of the correction they do to make the lens sharper.

Thank you Prieni, it certainly is quite extreme the effect.

You can of course clone out the plastic bag.
