Good to see you brought out your 2.8 Ian. Heavy beasts, but to my mind , the most portable heavy beast of the heavy beast bunch. And the 1.7x on it it gives me a decent 510 ƒ4.5 for use on the FF, where 300 is the new 200.

FYI: Just back from Utah. My 300 f4 DA would not autofocus on the K1, and in fact, the latter identified as an APS-C lens and went into crop mode. Tried repeatedly wiping off the contacts with a lens cloth, but no go. So I set the camera to obligatory FF and focused manually the few times I used the lens. Not much wildlife seen, and the one real opportunity to use the 300 there wasn't sufficient time to mount it.

Intriguing bird. Manages to simultaneously look both peculiar and regal.
