My Question:
What do the other Pentaxians do when they want a longer telephoto?
(400mm range and higher)
I'm a recent K-X owner-
Reason #1 Price Point & Practicality.
Reason #2 Nostalgia - I have my Dad's Spotmatic F.
I like the K-X a lot, and got it with the 55-300 kit lens.
I realize the 300mm zoom I have now is effectively a 450mm in full frame formats.
Have now discovered the obvious attraction of faster & longer telephotos.
I have been cautioned away from the 500mm f8 mirror lenses because they are generally unsatisfying most of the time for most users.
Stuff like the ma$$ive Pentax-FA 600mm F4 is simply out of my league
(I initially bought the K-X because it was $250 less than my next choice.)
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

P.S. Yes, I had an excellent (100% success) CMOS sensor-cleaning session with a "rocket-type" bulb blower. Thanks for asking.
P.P.S. I tried the search engine, looking for an earlier answer to similar questions, and, finding none, posted this one.
