What you get

SMC Pentax-DA* 300 f4
Canon 77mm front cap (higher quality than the OEM Pentax. I know cause the Pentax cap broke without undue force)
Original Pentax Twist Rear cap
Sofrotto soft case (zippered, 1/2" padded protection on all sides, compression straps, belt loop/backpack strap, way better than unpadded OEM Pentax velcro bag)
Upgraded, Arca-Swiss compatible tripod foot, OR Smaller, Original Pentax tripod foot (you choose)
Original box
Original Manual


Condition

Glass, and aperture are great. No marks, no haze, no fungus, no oil. The mount and contact points look perfect.
Mechanically the lens is 100%. The focus ring moves smoothly, just as it should, and the ring rubber shows no wear. The tripod foot orientation ring turns smoothly as new, and the knob shows no brassing and operates perfectly smoothly.
There are a few minor scratches on the lens hood.




Why I'm selling it

I purchased the D-FA 150-450 about a year and a half ago. I've held on to both for so long because they're both great lenses. This DA* 300 is much smaller and lighter (by far, in every way), much easier to handle, and much more simple to operate. It is also sharper and faster, and IMO has nicer bokeh...
But I can't keep both. I'm keeping the longer focal length and sacrificing everything else. My wife thinks I'm crazy.
