Also, I want to wait to see if the new TC actually sees the light of day.

But the new TC if it comes will likely be HSM only, or AF only and do nothing for your 300/4 that will make it mode uesful

The muscle definition on the horses in the third shot is fantastic.

Very nice shots. Would be an interesting lens for use on the K-01 - focus peaking, less lag in liveview.

Funny that you bring that up, I was thinking the same thing when I started this thread a few weeks ago.

I am kinda leery about using a long lens with that camera.

I guess it would be very tricky....M*300/4 is probably just too big for K-01.....it was definitely too big for K-5, best match was K20 with grip which nicely counterbalanced the weight of the star lens...anyway give it a try....it is perfect glass
