Pentacon 300mm f/4

Pros: Sharp and clear pictures, easy manual focus ring and aperture ring. F4 aperture is perfect for low light wildlife photography, 300mm perfect for stalking and birds in flight shots.

Cons: It would be easy to say weight, but it isn't important for me. It's an old professional telephoto lens so old lens quality equal bigger weigth. Maybe a short lens hood is a little mistake, but I have a home made longer and better lens hood.

Opinion: I love this lens, one of my favourite MF lens. It's made from Pentacon, Praktica and Carl Zeiss materials so the $290-600 ebay price reflect the quality. I have a 500/5.6 Pentacon lens too but at F4 the 300mm lens is sharper and clearer than the 500mm at F5.6 without photoshop too. I use this lens with old Vivitar 2x MF teleconverter and I use this combinaton at F5.6 too. It working very well, so this lens is a perfect and dangerous weapon for any birder and wildlife photographer.
