Pentax SMC DA* 55mm f/1.4 SDM

Pros: Sharpness, bokeh really nice, very bright, very solid, very quiet

Cons: High price, slight chromatic aberration

Opinion: I luckily had the chance to buy this beautiful lens from a seller for less than half of its market price, I had read a good review pentaxforum.com so as soon as I saw the ad I did not think twice, on the evening same I made contact and went to try it out. The lens has already 4 years but his condition is like new. The images it produces are crisp and bright, the colors that can give the lens are amazing and really give a sense of depth to the image. The bokeh that is able to develop is really very nice. I noticed a slight problem of front / back focus but I quickly settled by setting the K-5. When open to maximum aperture produces a slight chromatic aberration. rnUn'ottica that can give a lot of satisfaction!

Pentax SMC DA 55-300mm f/4.0-5.8 ED

Pros: Quality / price excellent, crisp and clear 300mm, the stabilizer integrated k-5 becomes very convenient

Cons: Dim, not weather sealed

Opinion: As a first telephoto lens can be said to be totally satisfied! Throughout the focal length maintains a Bouna sharpness, chromatic aberration, vignetting is very low and very limited if not absent, the only flaw that could have a diaphragm is not very bright (but with the price that you can not expect to have a 'optical professional). rnPrima to buy I also evaluated the possibility of a Sigma or Tamron, but after a little' research on the Internet (a site that puts the three objectives and in comparison I found very useful is pentaxforum.com) I dropped my decision on the series pentax.rnConsiglio this lens to anyone who wants to have a good lens starting in the field of telephoto.
