I have always liked the F series lenses. Periodically I stop into goodwill shops and fundraiser flea markets to see if I can find any. They are usually found attached to an older film body such as an SF10 (which I had) SF1 of P3 which were the Pentax bodies of that vintage that somebody has given up. For some reason used F series seem to be hard to find. I check B&H and KEH periodically but do not see to many coming up used. I made the mistake of selling my F 35-70 compact zoom but fortunately kept the F 28mm f2.8 which I use quite frequently.

@SSGGeezer and @Normhead you are right on target regarding the 55-300 PLM. Since I bought this lens it goes everywhere I take my K-3. For sure it is not quite as sharp or fast as my DA*300 when it is zoomed all the way out, but its image quality and sharpness is more than good enough right up to about 280mm. The heavier, faster, higher quality extended range telephoto lenses such as, in my case, the DA*300, with or without the 1.4TC have their place where carrying a larger heaver lens is not an issue. The lighter weight, compact sized PLM, however, has made extended range telephoto shooting an everyday option rather than a specialized outing. Autofocus performance is an added bonus.
