Latest Review Posted HD Pentax-DA 55-300mm F4.5-6.3 ED PLM WR RE
Good:
Great focal length
Very sharp
Lens focusing is very quick
Light and small for its focal length


Bad:
Irritating having to remember to extend the lens - a downsize to its compactness
Aperture range
The lens may be quicker at focusing, but the camera is still glacial


Ugly:
My daughter knocked my camera and lens onto the floor - a drop of 30cm, and the lens acquired a small bend. Worked perfectly, even so. Took it to the Pentax service centre in the UK, where he took the mount off, and showed me the plastic component that had broken - typically £20-60 to repair, he said, for comparable lenses. The next thing I heard, it had to be sent to Japan for assessment, and then they said that repairs would be £330 - for a lens I paid £250 for in the sales. I've gone through the house insurance and got a replacement in the end, but it means that I don't feel I can recommend the lens - hopefully, others won't have similar problems, and I've just been extremely unlucky.
