Thanks

I have to say though that one of the best features of this lens is it's close focus ability. It get's shots I just couldn't do with the Pentax 150-450mm.

The lens you are linking to is the old version with no HSM and no OS .. it also has the coating on the body that peels off. Wait for a newer f/4.5-6.3 lens, it's optically much better.

Both lenses are in superb condition and come with their cases. hood, tripod collar, caps and I think I have the boxes somewhere (will have to check). They are both full frame lenses and the 100-300mm f/4 is the MKII version which autofocuses a lot better with later Pentax bodies than the MKI apparently (never had a problem with mine on the K-3, K-3II or K-1 anyway)
I am asking
£750 incl UK postage for the 100-300mm f/4
£700 Incl UK postage for the 50-500mm OS
Can do pictures of lenses if required.

I still can't fathom why they can't just re-engineer the 60-250f4 - re-organise the internals (ie remove the baffle) and refresh the AF drive.
Personally I'm not buying any new lenses until Ricoh do something about the AF tracking.
