I have this lens, its a great lens and still works well with AF cameras, even if its only manual focus. The FA 400mm is rather rare and goes for three times this price and truth be be told when your in the $1500 to $2000 range, there are better options in the AF line.
I have never seen a FA 400mm go for less than around $1300.
This is a great long lens for someone who just wants to play with a longer lens. Deals like this on a great older lens like this is why I love Pentax. Someone should scoop this up.

I'm not sure if this will help anyone out, but a few years ago I lost the lens hood for my Pentax FA* 80-200 f2.8. I was able to alter another Pentax hood, but it was never the same and I have been looking for a genuine replacement hood to pop up for a long time. Right around christmas a south korean seller on ebay put one up for sale. They also have/had some pentax F* 300mm f4.5 items.
The stuff is NIB and not the cheapest, but might be the holly grail to someone looking for a 300mm f4.5 lens hood. They might have even had a case and tripod collar. I was nervous about buying a $70 item from South Korea, but I got it in around 2 weeks.
Here is a link....

Maybe it will help a few collectors out there.

So I grabbed a Nodal Ninja off the marketplace forum to try panorama's. Any tips of suggestions on lenses to use with it?
I have a K3II just not sure what lens to use, wide angles lenses or try a telephoto. Some of the tutorial mention using a telephoto to get a lot of pixels. I have a 300mm that probably won't fit and also have a 15mm and a 24mm. Even have a 35mm macro.
Just looking for some tips to get started with panorama's.

I have the chance to play with the 55-300mm range, and I am going to try it out, but think smaller is going to be better.
Long term I think I am going to look for some good deals on a 15mm and a DA 18-135.
For me in the end smaller is better and I discovered the pelican case I used to use for the k200D and grip, also fits my K-3-II and grip. It might be snug, but the DA 18-135 should fit, the DA 16-85 will not.
Ill take my time and play with the 55-300 and look for a good copy of the 18-135 for a good price. Finding the lenses is part of the fun.
Thanks for all the help!
