Pentax SMC DA* 300mm F4 ED WR **Screwdrive Autofocus.

PentaxForums.com Marketplace Listing

Asking Price

Item Location
Pennsylvania (United States)

Item Description
Pentax SMC DA* 300mm F4 ED AF WR configured to Screw Drive Autofocus. Hood & Caps included, no box or tripod foot. ONLY $375

Lens has SDM contact issues, not a failed SDM motor. Contacts were replaced once and after four years, the sometimes it works, sometimes it didn't SDM issue came back, so I had it converted to screw drive AF by Forum member UncleVanya. Manual focus also works just fine. Priced far below well worn copies of the F and FA series 300/4.5 screwdrive AF lenses, plus this lens is weather resistant.

Lens optics are very clean. A tiny amount of dust specs are present which has in no way ever impacted photo quality. NO haze, fungus, oil or other issues. Aperture blades are free and snappy. Exterior lens barrel finish shows some marks and minor brassing. Lens hood has a repaired crack, fits and functions 100%. Comes with a metal screw in 77mm lens cap and Pentax rear cap. No tripod foot (how I bought it) . The ONLY time screwdrive AF isn't on par with the SDM- using with a teleconverter. A 1.4X converter definitely slows focus on my KP and K-70.
I found myself using my DFA 150-450 most of the time, so I would like to pass this lens along, at a good price to a fellow Pentax Forum Member.

I can email photos taken with this lens if needed. I have this priced far below the cost of a same condition screwdrive SMC-F 300/4.5 and the DA* is weather sealed and optically superior. Also, it IS a full frame lens.
