It's an f/2.8 A Star lens, so significantly higher up the scale than the f/4 M lens that Substitute was refering to.

I almost jumped out my skin when i saw this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180153009116&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=008 but on second glance its only an f:4 not the 2.8 you were refering too
Is the A version f:4 still an above average lens :

I think this is the one Tyr is after if i am not mistaken

Grrr... As soon as I saw 200mm f4 I was excited. I really want the A version of this lens

I have no idea what it would go for but the A versions are expensive.

I use the 2500 NiMH Energisers with a 1hr charger and i get at least 300 shots per charge more if i am not using the on camera flash.
They cost a bit more than the others but they are certainly the better brand.

Edit: and they don't appear to lose much charge when left sitting idle. Never had a problem with them and i keep 3 sets

The other day, I sat down to tidy up my camera bag and looked at the front of the lens. It had a 1A filter on it, from when it used to be commonplace advice to fit one "to protect the expensive front element".
Paul i had the same thing happen with a 1A filter on my Tamron 28-300 and could'nt understand why. I just put it down to the conditions of the day. I really only use a filter to protect the lens but its got me thinking do i need to have them on all my glass, : probably not

Its not rocket surgery either

Good idea thanks. But for the bucks you outlay for this flashgun you would expect the finish quality to be a little better
Maybe you should pass on your quick fix to the Pentax bigwigs and embarrass them into fixing the problem

John: I was erring on the side of caution, hence my post. I've decided to leave it in the old bag along with my Fujica ST705W and its disintegrating light seals & dampers.
A wise decision i think. I have 2 old guns here and i won't risk putting them on. It's not worth the risk in my opinion
