Latest Review Posted	SMC Pentax-DA 55-300mm F4-5.8 ED I caught this lens at ebay UK and won the bid at £120 while I was preparing to attend the Royal International Air Tattoo and Farnborough last year (2014). I was impressed by the results having a light zoom lens which gives me the freedom to raise my camera for the whole day while pointing it on airplanes flying. As I have owned an earlier version of this lens with plastic mount I already had an idea what it could do and I was impressed that this metal mount version is a lot better. With the downside of purple fringing when shooting planes in direct sunlight with the reflection on the fighter jets canopies, the rest are desirable results you would have expected in images taken at high speed handheld without the burden of having a tripod or monopod because of the weight of the lens which allows you to save your effort in lifting it. I have the image samples for your own consideration. http://www.zoomquest.net/uploads/3/1/1/3/3113921/5175338_orig.jpg http://www.zoomquest.net/uploads/3/1/1/3/3113921/4864327_orig.jpg http://www.zoomquest.net/uploads/3/1/1/3/3113921/5654211_orig.jpg http://www.zoomquest.net/uploads/3/1/1/3/3113921/1075364_orig.jpg http://www.zoomquest.net/uploads/3/1/1/3/3113921/84252_orig.jpg
