Originally posted by selar For those with F*300/4.5, remove the tripod collar and store it in a safe place. Its not at all required but is a sought after item, as the collar is rarer than the lens.
The F*300 is quite compact, in fact its smaller than DA*50-135, last football test match I went to the DA*50-135 was confiscated, but not F*300. LOL.
I ran a similar thread wanting to know if I should think of replacing F*300 with DA*300, somebody in that thread said F*300 was 30g lighter.
Obviously, if I didn't have F*300 already, I'd be buying DA*300.
Maybe Photozone ran out of thumbs?!
I hope you got your lens back.... maybe they had a Pentax too and needed to take some portraits during the game?
