I'm torn and I hate tradeoffs...
I've had a 55-200 (f4-5.6) for some time now, and am ready to get a USED prime lens with a longer reach for those times when I want to get wildlife and mountain shots in my area...and my kids at sport and concert events.
I'm guessing that my ideal focal length would be a 400mm prime, but anything affordable seems to be f5.6 or slower.
I've seen some 300mm options in the f2.8 or f4 (great for sports and concerts...but not as long a reach)
My latest thinking was get a fast 300mm (f2.8) and throw a 1.4x teleconverter on it when I want the added reach (giving me a ~500mm f3.5)
My Questions:
- Does a 300mm with a TC, render worse IQ that a natural 400mm?
- How does a TC affect bokeh?
- Will I be disappointed with a 400mm (f5.6)--even with the extra reach--when it can't really perform catching action or indoor events like a 300mm 2.8?
-Will I fall in love with the relative lighter weight of the slower 400/5.6 over the 300/2.8...and not really notice the slowness if I use a monopod?
-Will I fall in love with the faster 300/2.8 lens--despite the weight--and not really notice the additional 100mm reach of the 400/5.6?
Just looking for advice from others who have crossed these bridges before me.
(A slap to the first person that says "it depends...") I want answers and to be told what to do :D

I just purchased a used K3 and am so excited!!! I've had my K200D since 2007 and have loved it and taken great pics with it, but have been ready to upgrade for a while. I've convinced myself to not blame my tools and fall for the lie that it will magically improve how I see (and photograph) the world around me. Secretly, I'm hoping my pics do come out a little clearer.
My photography is for me-my creative outlet. I quickly lose interest when I take pics of what others want me to photograph. The net result is that it is hard to pay for my photography hobby. Oh well. I'm hoping to be at least as happy with my new K3 as i was with my 200D.
Question:
Has anyone else here made the K200D to K3 transition? What should I expect? What new feature did you love most? Is there anything you miss? (simplicity?)

So is this model between the K50 and the K3? If I'm in the market for a K3, should I be considering this one and why?
