Look at my equipment in my signature. Most people can do plenty with much less. I can do everything I need to with what I have. Would I like to add the F* or FA* 250-600 f/5.6 to my equipment list? The FA* 600 f/4? One of the 800 or 1200 mm lenses that Pentax had in the past? You bet I would! Can I live without them? Most certainly. With what I have no I can actually pull things like the Orion nebula, pretty detailed moon shots, Andromeda, birds, and wildlife including bears from a distance.
To OP, go, try the DFA 150-450 with 1.4tc combo, be impressed.

If you're using a crop sensor then the DFA 150-450 + DA 1.4 AW tc is the way to go, and even on the K1 it is usable, but you will need to crop. That gives a weather sealed 630mm f/8 which I've had no problems with AF on my K3 and K1.

Ohh, adn that combo is quite sharp, even wide open. I had the 150-500 and it can't touch the DFA 150-450 for sharpness on the long end, and when coupled with the 1.4 the DFA 150-450 still beats the 150-500 in sharpness at the long end, and gives more reach.
