300mm f4 lens for K-1

G'day mate,

$120 sounds like a bargain if the lens is okay, surely a lot less than you'll pick up the DA* 300/4 for.

And whilst the DA* was released as an APSC lens, I've been using mine on my K-1 without any dramas. Initially I forgot that it would default to the crop mode of the K-1 but once I remembered that I just left the camera default at FF and I've never had any issues with it. Primarily I used this as my lens for sports shooting, and in this role it has been replaced by the 150-450 for the convenience and the reach of the zoom. But I've never considered the DA*300/4 not a match to the K-1's resolution, indeed I think the two go together really well.

Instead of words though I'll direct you to one of my Flickr albums to check out what the lens can do on the K-1. A variety of lenses were used on those images but those with the DA*300/4 will be identified in the details below and the tags. You can check that out here: Action, Sports, Motorsports & Events | Flickr To get a better look at what the K-1 and that lens can do I recommend you press L on the keyboard then F11 to get to the large view on a black matte.

Outside of sports I've only used it occasionally, though it is time to get out with it again for some telephoto landscapes. I don't do birding if that's your thing, this is as close as I get to that style of image with the K-1 & DA* 300/4 combo.

If you choose to pick up the DA*300/4 I can say you won't find it wanting, it's an excellent lens including on the K-1.
