I use the DA* 60-250 on FF and debated cutting the baffle six years ago when this first came up, but since i use it for shooting portraits and concerts where the edges simply don't matter, it works fine. Ditto the lens hood. It is a great performer on the K1 - I suppose I should try it on the K3iii

Try the Tamron 70-200/2.8 or Sigma 70-200/2.8 HSMII for such shootings.. you'll be surprised.

F6.3 and ISO6400..
