It is, indeed. I have the screw-mount, preset version of this lens. It is
fairly light in weight (there usually is not much glass in long tele lenses)
and performs adequately. I was very fortunate to get it at the right price -
a friend gave it to me after he changed from screw-mount (Praktica, not
Pentax) to N*kon bayonet.
