| Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-DA 55-300mm F4-5.8 ED
The reviews of this lens were one of the big things that convinced me to go Pentax. The lens is plenty sharp for its price range, and light enough to shoot one handed. This is the lens I've got on my camera more than any other because its range is so versatile. Its great for walking around the park because you can get everything from distant animals to right up close insects. For example, the FA*300 cannot focus anywhere near as closely as this lens can.
While it's true this lens hunts, the quick shift makes this problem much more manageable, especially if your subject is at infinity.
Overall, if I ever got a mirrorless camera, I'd probably adapt this lens to it because it is so useful, even if I'd lose autofocus and auto aperture. |
