Quantaray LDO ----- 100-300mm F4.5-6.7
I only had a DA 55-300 in the 300mm range that I got for my K30. When I got a K1II, I wanted to find full-frame lens for that range. I found this on eBay for $11 plus shipping. I saw positive reviews on here and figured it would be worth a shot.
I am very pleasantly surprised.
Even without a hood I can get great shots in all levels of light. I don’t use autofocus a lot so it’s hard for me to comment on its ability to respond there. I’d say it’s not quite as good as my DA 55-300, but take that with a grain of salt.
I tend to shoot slightly dark and bring up the brightness and/or exposure a little bit in post if needed. I don’t shoot with anything higher than 800ISO and I’ve not had a problem shooting outdoors with it in that range.

Interesting note…it seems my camera usually thinks this is the DA 55-300. I thought there was a way to save lenses in the camera, but I can’t find it if there is.
