Latest Review Posted | HD Pentax-D FA 70-210mm F4 ED SDM WR Excellent telephoto lens on a full-frame Pentax K1, light enough to be carried around all day. It is for landscapes, for all-weather conditions, and for the occasional portrait too. Very good image quality.
I was downright unhappy with the old version of the Pentax DA 55-300mm, wanting a better image quality. While understanding why people recommend the new PLM version as a light travel tele, to be used with a crop-sensor camera, I am now very happy with my choice, using this lens with both the Pentax K1 and the Pentax KP, where the equivalent field of view is about 100-300.
Before I got this lens I worried that F4 might not be wide enough. Rest assured, it is. Bokeh is good. Subject separation works well. https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/53536-cristic/albums/14362-balvanyos-d-fa-70-210mm-f4/picture140245.jpg
