I am planning to acquire this telephoto and would be interested in opinions and practical experiences from owners.

I have it. It's great. I haven't used it in years. I much prefer the 300mm F4 for the reach, of course.

Have you checked the reviews and user comments on the Pentax forums?

I did. Wanted to hear from actual users whether the SDM time lag is a real burden.

I would think that there are more users of Pentax lenses on the Pentax forums than on UHH. Or is your implication that the folks on those forums are somehow not real users?
