SMC Pentax-DA 55-300mm f/4-5.8 ED
SMC Pentax-DA 55-300mm f/4-5.8 ED: Verdict
This is the ideal moderately priced long zoom lens for Pentax cameras. Compact, well balanced and well made and offering a very useful range of focal lengths. There is some degree of hunting for focus in some circumstances but generally performance is sound. For general telephoto use Pentax users can be happily recommended this lens.![]() |
A very good overall performance at a very reasonable price. |
