| Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-DA* 300mm F4 ED [IF] SDM
I had a Bigma for several months, and took it on an Alaskan cruise. I resolved to get the DA*300 when I got back. After the cruise, I decided that I needed a lighter, weatherproof lens. This week I finally made the switch. My backyard photography confirmed my decision to purchase this lens. It is extremely sharp and is relatively lightweight for a lens of it's size. It is a pleasure to use.
I also found that the lens is sharp enough to use a 1.4x teleconverter without losing much image quality.
Pros:
- Sharp
- Relatively lightweight (compared to Bigma for example)
- Autofocus works well. It is so quiet, at first I didn't know it was working!
- Quality build. Excellent workmanship.
Cons
- ?
