Pentax K-70 photo samples

jgnfld · 09-28-2016, 03:58 PM - **12 Likes**

I do not see a K-70 photos thread like there is on the K30/K50 forum so I thought I'd start it. Here are some pics from a hike today in Newfoundland. As season is getting late, lighting is fairly dark and used ISO 320 on all shots. Lens is 55-300 PLM RE. xposted to 55-300 opinions thread. (click pics for exif info)

Very nice pics. Planning to buy a K70 in the following months. How fast does the 50-300 PLM worked in los light? Have you test in video?

Haven't timed it out, but the lens focuses much faster than my old 55-300 DAL and doesn't seem to hunt at all. Probably twice as fast focusing or better if I had to estimate. Silent, of course.

I don't do video.

How do you compare it with good, fast focusing lenses from same class from Canon, Nikon ?? is it on par with them? does it beat them?

Thanks.

There is already a 55-300mm PLM RE opinions thread going in the lenses area with a lot of info. https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/10-pentax-slr-lens-discussion/328778-opinions-55-300-re.htmlThis is a K-70 photo samples thread.

For other samples with this lens/K-70 taken by me see jgnfld's Album: K70 55-300mm RE - PentaxForums.com
