pentax 55-300, which is generally better regarded
With the 2x teleconvertor added, so 600mm;
IMHO a lot depends on the quality of the convertor in use, high quality ones can give good results, but the other end of the scale might as well be used as door stops. The point made by Adqam about lens quality is bang on though, the faster the better. Although once you start getting to 400mm and beyond a support is a good idea anyway.

Yes i know what it is, I just think there is no need for it. As there could well be people with Dyscalculia on here and no one is perfect.
But is this forum really becoming a place where we have to watch every word, for fear of offending someone?
God, I hope not.
Perhaps there should be a caution to those easily offended in the T&Cs of forum use.
Hopefully it would go along the lines of;
If easily offended join a children only forum/

dyscalculia
Dyscalculia or math disability is a specific learning disability or difficulty involving innate difficulty in learning or comprehending mathematics. It is akin to dyslexia and can include confusion about math symbols. Dyscalculia can also occur as the result of some types of brain injury.

250-600. It's max aperture is 1:5.6
So, it would seem to suggest that there really isn't much of a market for long lenses amongst Pentax owners.

Pentax could surprise us of course
I tend to agree with leytono on this, yes we have Sigma but even their support for Pentax seems to be slowly diminishing. I would love a Pentax 100-400 even if it was only f5.6, and would be prepared to pay for it.

how well packed? Doubleboxed with bubblewrap
Had not considered RM, thought the size would be to large

Any advice on the best method or a particular carrier?

I'm still trying to figure the way of getting fairly sharp 400-450mm autofocus for under £800.
