Adorama - DA 16-45 (E-) for $159

Adorama - DA 16-45 (E-) for $159 · 12:45 PM

Used Pentax Smcp-da 16-45 4 Ed-al

I don't typically see this lens go for under $200, so it's surprising to see it at $159 from Adorama. I personally don't need this lens, so thought I'd share.

E- category: Barrel shows signs of wear and/or moderate usage. Lens glass may have some dust / spots that should not affect picture quality.

A wonderfully performing lens optically but not the best built one. I really like the pics from it and it's much better than the 18-55

Ouch, a great deal that I cannot afford. Last week I grabbed a grade-X DAL 55-300 with a broken composite mount; after a half hour (and parts from a $35 18-55 DAL) I have a like-new telezoom!

The 16-45 is one fine zoom, though getting longer at 16mm is so bizarre...

I used my friend's before. It's surprisingly large (or perhaps the DA*16-50 is surprisingly small?), but very light. Sharp images, but not outstanding for me. Still, great price as far as I can tell.
