My wife "borrowed" the lens from me along with my backup K-5 IIs body.
She loves it and never gave it back.
If you want to see what it can do look at her instagram account " malgorzataquinn "
She says there: " Pentax 100mm Macro WR on Pentax K-5 IIs, most of the time "

Just tested this lens:
SMC Pentax-A 400mm F5.6 USED cost about $250:
VS
SMC Pentax-DA* 300mm F4 ED [IF] SDM with a 1.4x HD PENTAX-DA AF Rear Converter. (effective 420mm F 5.6 in this combination)
USED cost about $1250
Results Pentax-DA* 300mm with TC were the best at F5.6.
BUT by F8 the SMC Pentax-A 400mm F5.6 was very similar in quality and the 400mm cost me $1,000 less.
I also tested the 400mm lens with a Pentax 1.7X AF teleconverter. In spite of this being only a F5.6 lens it would auto-focus well with the teleconverter. The image quality went down when compared to the 300mm with the new 1.4X HD teleconverter.
