Sears Multicoated Auto Zoom 80-200mm F4
I must have a great copy because i just whipped it out to see what it would do in low light (indoors midnight backlit pointed at table lamp) so i mounted it upon my K-3
camera asked for lens length- i put in 85mm
adjust camera settings
ISO 800
100second
F8
no tripod- handheld-elbows in -sitting in a chair- table lamp 4 feet in front of me-breathe out- wait for no movement depress shutter and Bam!
razor sharp! can see grains of dust on the lamp chain pull that my naked eyes cannot see @ 200% magnification! that beats my sigma 17-50F2.8 (which is super sharp) i am very impressed with this manual lens built like a tank, no lens hood, threads are internal.
colors seem accurate no CA in high contrast areas!
i am excited to play with this lens some more-A total sleeper-be great when Pentax FF is released :cool: aloha Timothy

Proud K-3 owner: with that said
when i was a Nikon owner i had read in a tip somewhere about a great little lens that could do wonders and that was really really Inexpensive-sharp at F8 -macro abilities- good AF speed- and great colors at the beach-spot on tip ;) so when i changed camera manufacturers back to Pentax (started on a k1000) i wondered if they made this lens in a K mount?
Yes Sigma did!-i then knew that it would be a nice inexpensive addition to my shabby kit
8mm f3.5
35mm f2.4
50mm f1.8
sigma 17-50 f2.8 (fav walk around lens)
sigma 150-500 for reach
a dedicated water housing for the K-3 and 3 ports
a couple of old manual zooms round out my bag also Gopro Hero 4 black (amazing device)
the Sigma 70-300 fits right in and does the job i need it to do-when the light is good and you can shoot F8 or better @1000sec this lens is a great lens for budding photographers on a budget:D
