Bidder was non paying, so I've grabbed it
(as I checked it out last week and it's like new condition). The final thing that pushed me over the edge was a K20D for sale near me, and being in Melbourne for work when the GP is on this year, pick it up in a week. However now in longer lenses I have Sigma's 70-200/2.8, 100-300/4 and 300/2.8.....which seems excessive to me.
On the Pentax 560/5.6. As Cmohr has said, $5000+ is a more realistic price, I don't have the cash or need for that (600/5.6 via TC is fine by me). And most events here don't allow in anything over 300mm through the gate (300/2.8 + TCs seems like a good compromise
).
