Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-DA* 300mm F4 ED [IF] SDM After a few months of waiting, finally my Pentax SMC DA * 300mm f / 4 ED SDM arrived, completing the set that I will use for birdwatching: k-3, battery grip and this lens. It's a totally sealed kit, able to face rain, wind and dust with confidence. Last year, in the Amazon rainforest, had problems with a Canon 70D, which led me to migrate to Pentax.
I did not have many opportunities to get out into the field to test the lens yet, but the three chances I had, the Pentax 300mm showed why he is one of the most acclaimed telephoto brand. I have know how to do a review, but I will spend here the first impressions I had the lens.
Pros:
Design strength. It is a lens first line, with perfect finish. Very little or no metal and plastic. Pass the feeling of strength and confidence so that puts his hand on it.
Silent and fast. Aside from the noise of the autofocus in, you do not hear anything else. The engine is extremely quiet and fast, which is an advantage to practice birdwatching.
Sharp: The sharpness is impressive. Even in low light the result is very good. The focus is necessary, as all the equipment Pentax
Image quality: I give the note 10 to the lens
Chromatic aberration: Another item to note 10
Bokeh: I have a Canon 300mm f / 4, I use with a 6D. I love this set, but the bokeh Pentax 300mm f / 4 is more softer, less aggressive, more beautiful.
Cons:
Price: It is a lens face, especially with the surge of the dollar, but worth every penny. In BH costs just over $ 1,000.
