Bought it new in '82 in Japan and have only used it...maybe... 8(?)times. I used to shoot K64 in my LX and this lens was too slow@max aperture of 4.5. I used it this past May at the San Francisco Zoo and got a couple of good shots. It's better with an APS-C ISO-wise.
The front element is seperating at the edges and I'll dispose/give it away soon. I can't understand why people buy an old MF lens knowing it can't autofocus and then complain about it. Silly.

| Pros: | Solid build, fixed hood & tripod mount, reasonably sharp | | Cons: | fully manual | |
Decent sharpness for wildlife; I rate it an 8 for sharpness, 9.5 build quality. Sharper than Tamron 300mm LD DI at 300mm and minimal CA. Works with green button on K10D/K20D. Aperature must be set manually. It is slightly longer and heavier than the Pentax F* 300mm.
