SMC Pentax-A* 300mm F4 vs DA* 300mm f4?

Hello,

I have been birding with my very compact and quite old A* 300 manual lenses (Manufactured in the 80s) for a couple of year and I am wondering if I would improve my hit rate going to the more modern DA* 300 instead.

I am asking because I recently went to a photo store and the clerk commented that lens designed in the film era would never be as sharp as a digital lenses. I suppose technology has improved by leaps and bounds since the early 80s. My overall goal is to have more keeper and overall sharper pictures. That said, I love the form factor and weight of the A*. Would I be better off upgrading my body from K3 to a K3 iii or get a more recent lenses? (Or perhaps both.)

Obviously, I realize that the manual focus on the old A* is less than ideal for BIF. But even for standing birds, and being used to using a manual lenses, It's sometime tricky to have eyes in focus. So what do you think, would I get more bang for the $ to get a newer lenses (DA* 300) or a newer body, specifically K3 iii?

Thanks!!

Add a foot or ring to an older SMC Pentax-A 300 mm (older model)

Wow! Thank you so much for all the suggestions and ideas.

I am going on a trip to Costa Rica and need to have a solution to my problem in the next 2 weeks basically. So something mostly ready to use would be really nice.
That said, I am handy with wood and could build something custom if I can't find any other options.

If you know of something that would mostly work, I'll order it right away.

Yes, I have the older manual lens.

Hello,

I need better balance on my SMC 300 to reduce the stress on the ball head of the tripod. As that lens does not have a foot or any facility for one, what do I need to get to hack some kind of foot so I can use a long extension plate?

Cheers and thanks for any advice.

Hello,

Just starting into photography and looking at learning the Pentax brand.
Will be looking for an old K5 and some fixed lense for birding and nature photography.

Thank!
