Damn to late
the 300mm F4 is fine handheld. I generally use mine at 1/500th second or above light permitting with or without the 1.4 HD tele adapter. It is good enough to use wide open. I've just weighed mine. 1.297 kg (2.85lb in old measurements) with hood attached. That makes around 2kg with K5 I think or 4.4 lb
£799 ex display on SRS ebay. I bought mine for £599 used from Park Cameras. They were £639 in Black friday sale brand new I think.
But with stabilized camera bodies and all...
I've used the Sigma 300mm at below 1/1ooth, especially while panning with moving objects. If one is able to practically stabilize somewhat; one could easily go for a significantly slower shutter speed
