I can personally testify as to how well built and tough the SMC Pentax-DA* 300mm F4 ED [IF] SDM is
my copy just survived the failure of my carry system without permanent damage to it other than some minor scratches to the lens itself
I have another boo boo, WARNING and seeking help - Page 5 - PentaxForums.com
it fell from roughly hip high onto a cement side walk, the hood, which took the majority of the force of the impact, was forced back along the barrel of the lens.
the lens itself, suffered cosmetically very little but the hood has significant enough damage: the fragments which broke off prevents it from locking securely into place
major lesson learned is not only to devise a " safety system "
BUT
use the safety system at all times
I have now adjusted my safety system so that it is automatically in use anytime I pick up the sling and attached camera body:

what ever lens you decide to try to purchase, should you become interested in an " experienced " one, I urge you to be sure to check the forum's market place. I have had nothing but good luck in dealing with members of the forum when I used it to purchase " experienced " equipment
no guaranty of course but I wish you similar luck if you chose that option

DA lenses on Full Frame: Test Shots thread
Posted By: falconeye, 07-07-08, 15:50 (Offline)
Hi everybody,
I would like to open up a thread dedicated to one topic:
DA lens on Full Frame: a sticky test shots thread.
This thread shall be dedicated to test shots of a DA lens mounted to a full frame body (e.g., a film camera body). By test shot, I mean shots dedicated to evaluate the performance. Shots of ordinary subjects aren't suitable to this task, normally, and should not be posted. So, these are the rules:
