It is a cracking lens, I have the later version which I've used regularly for motorsport for a number of years now. Works very well on K1 and crop sensors, very good IQ wide open and quick to focus (screw drive).
Some of the shots in my gallery have been taken with this.

Impressive set, trying to pick one is tough but No 7 probably takes it for me. Fabulous feel to it.
Thanks for sharing

If you refer to the new TC, it’s DA and not FF. Someone correct me if I am wrong.../quote]
Good point, if I were to use it with TC would need to be crop mode or on the K3.assuming it (TC) fits on 300 ok.
[quote:3496ace15f="johnha"]There are very few applications that a 300/2.8 is necessary for with a DSLR. A 300/4 is much lighter, compact and cheaper and only gives one stop away (which can be compensated for by upping the ISO). It's not like the film days where ISO 400 was the fastest you could go (colour) and get reasonable results.
Apparently the DA* 300/4 is FF compatible - if so that would be my choice.
