True, f/5.6 is on the slow side for a 300mm, but it makes for easier CA correction, so that lens is probably very well corrected and thus quite sharp as a result. So you mentioned 4 versions and that yours is the third? Does yours have a New FD mount? Internal focusing? I wish I could find a variety of birds that hold still long enough for shots like yours.

Here are some examples from it all of which are highly cropped: I believe there were 4 variants & this is the third with 55mm filter ring.
It has two failures needs a lot of light & the focus is very sensitive. Revers wrote: I have had this lens for a while but the weather has been so bad I could not give it a proper workout.
