400mm lenses in Pentax mount are hard to come by. Hold on to it.

My least used is a Tokina 80-200 f2.8 - great optically, but a big beast.

Great price. I would buy it if I did not already have one: excellent lens.

I would say around £15, maybe a little more for one with the A aperture setting.

Kiron lenses are notorious for stuck aperture blades so I would say test thoroughly before selling.

I have the same lens and wish Pentax would make something similar.

It is a good lens, AF is a little slow. The only issue I have had is flare, even with window sidelighting indoros: use the hood. This is an older lens and in my opinion the lens coating is not as good as Pentax SMC.

That one lens is probably worth more than my entire collection of camera gear. I would love one but if I had that sort of money to spare I would probably buy a body/tilt-shift lens of a... ahem... entirely different make. I wouldn't abandon Pentax, just have that one lens/body combination to make up for the hole in the Pentax line-up.

Best wishes, K.
I see Nikon tilt/shift lenses in K mounts from time to time. Would that cure you?

Sony?
Or Pentax?
