Latest Review Posted	SMC Pentax-DA* 300mm F4 ED [IF] SDM This lens really surprised me. it is light weight for what it is, Nice to look at great to hold. Images are great. I have been playing with Long lenses for some time and had extensively tested used - DA55-300 - Tamron f2.8 300mm Adaptall - Tokina 80-400 4-5.6 - Original Sigma 50-500 - Pentax 400mm f5.6 A As you would expect, the DA 300 beats everyone of these lenses at every aperture. In the case of the 400mm f5.6, the 300mm either cropped or with a Kenko produced better images. Compared to the Tamron f2.8, the Pentax 300 beats it at every aperture and with TC TAMRON 300F2.8 Shot at F4 with TC 1.7 (pentax) = f6.7.
