Latest Review Posted SMC Pentax-FA 80-320mm F4.5-5.6
For the paid price it's okay but it's not a great lens. You can take good pictures with it but at full extend the IQ is getting worse and can't be denied. The AF isn't to my satisfaction either, it's to slow and sometimes not reliable. I know that's a good deal of focal length but it's just to slow for any kind of fast moving objects. Sharpness is good at center but decrease a good deal to the corners. The Bokeh isn't bad but not really impressive either. Zoom creep is a thing and the built quality is plastic. It feel still robust and like a good lens to handle mistreating but I dislike this rattling construction. The colours didn't look beautiful as with some other lenses, it's a bit dull. The good point of this lens is a good deal of focal length for a fair price. When you can avoid to shoot high contrasts it's a good lens even at 320mm. What I can't recommend shoot with it are birds. 1. Sky = high contrast, 2. fast moving objects. It's probably a lot more robust than it feel but I'm upgrading to a used DA*300mm f4 which impressed me in all matters.
