| Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-F* 300mm F4.5 ED [IF]
I enjoyed this lens for a brief period I owned it, even though extreme telephoto is not really my sort of photography. But there was a good oportunity to try it for a while which i couldnt resist. It is joy to use, very compact and quite lightweight for its focal lenght. I was really surprised by the robust construction of the body - nothing i tried felt so reassuring, not even A*85 1.4, far far better than Limiteds. And it is good looking design too. Only big downside is quite noisy AF. Minor downside is that AF/MF switch doesn't work with K series dslrs, so you need to switch AF/MF mode also on your camera (interestingly from what I read FA*300 4.5 doesn't have this issue). |
