D FA 150-450mm F4.5-5.6 Review on APS-C

Today we are happy to present you with a full in-depth review of the recently-launched HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm F4.5-5.6 ED DC AW telephoto zoom.  Although this is a full frame lens, we decided to go ahead and test it thoroughly on the current APS-C flagship bodies, the Pentax K-3 and K-3 II.

We originally planned to stick to a single-page "first impressions review", but there turned out to be so much to say about this lens that it called for multiple pages.  We plan to re-review the lens once the Pentax full frame DSLR is released this fall.  Enjoy!
