Latest Review Posted HD Pentax-DA 55-300mm F4.5-6.3 ED PLM WR RE
This is an outstanding zoom lens and easily surpasses my previous smc-DA 55-300mm (non-WR, green ring version), which I also thought was sharp but it suffered from slow and loud autofocus. I recently bought this zoom and used it on a dolphin-watching boat trip while visiting my in-laws in Florida. We were lucky to run into a big pod of dolphins who were, shall we say, feeling "frisky." If you look closely, one of the pictures below shows a dolphin male genitalia. The new HD DA 55-300 WR RE was an outstanding performer for this sightseeing trip on the water, and I loved how it handled-- compact when retracted, fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus. Love the build quality-- no wobbles. It's one of the best lenses I've purchased for my K-50 and I have quite a few lenses!! If you don't already own a 55-300, your choice of this model is pretty easy. If you already have an older 55-300, I say sell it and pick one of these up. It has revitalized my interest in using this zoom range. PS: all of these images taken at 300mm I think. https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/29432-seventysixersfan/albums/12314-55-300mm/picture115102.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/29432-seventysixersfan/albums/12314-55-300mm/picture115106.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/29432-seventysixersfan/albums/12314-55-300mm/picture115103.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/29432-seventysixersfan/albums/12314-55-300mm/picture115104.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/29432-seventysixersfan/albums/12314-55-300mm/picture115107.jpg https://www.pen...
