HD Pentax-DA 55-300mm f/4-5.8 ED WR Verdict

Overall, this lens is a competent performer, capable of decent sharpness when used within its limits. The weather sealing and HD coating are also a welcome addition, especially as the price has been kept reasonable. Those after a telephoto to add to the range provided by their 18-55mm kit lens should be well catered for by this lens.
