It was on Ebay and went for more than I was willing to pay. $60 +/- and it the seller never answered my email about shipping. Since it was in England I passed.

Jeff, the other thing is min. focus,its 8 meters on this model,and its not as heavy as i remembered but heavy enough. :) Dave ---- Begin Original Message ---- From: "Paul Franklin Stregevsky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thu, 9 Jan 2003 07:15:24 -0500 To: "'Pentax-Discuss'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: RE: FW: 300mm Hanimex Lens Dave wrote: Short comings is its a slow lens f 5.6 at least. Dark through the finder even in good daylight.It is hard to focus,looks fuzzy in the finder(i am using SP500 and Spotties) If it's big, heavy, and all-metal, Jeff could be speaking of the Hanimex 300mm f/4. Or maybe it was an f/4.5. I believe it had a tripod ring and the filter size was either 67, 72, or 77mm.
