Pros: easy handling, robust construction, imperbeabilized, responsive autofocus (and with limiter)

Cons: not extraordinary sharpness at the edges on the full-frame format, autofocus to be calibrated well, the bracket for the tripod is missing

Opinion: Purchased used but equal to the new, I took it to replace the 60-250mm f/4, always valid but not compatible with the full-frame format of the K1. I immediately appreciated the sturdy and waterproofed construction that allows it to be used even in non-optimal weather conditions. It is not a featherweight (almost 9 hectograms) but it swings well thanks to the fact that, unlike the 60-250, it has an internal zoom and its length does not change by varying the focal length. However, a bracket for the tripod would have been convenient, which is not available. The hood, as per Pentax tradition, has the convenience of the window to rotate the polarizing filter without removing it. Positive notes from the autofocus, which is certainly more responsive than the old SDM, but must be calibrated "in-camera" carefully because in some cases it tends to hook the wrong part of the subject. Once hooked, however, it proves to be quite precise in maintaining the fire. A praise for the presence of the limiter, even if it has a somewhat narrow range of action (from 95 cm to 2 meters and from 2 meters to infinity). Lights and shadows on the optical rendering. The sharpness is very good in the center practically always, but at the edges it leaves a bit to be desired at least up to f/5.6, then it is progressively improving. It works much better on the APS-C format of the K3-III, where in addition to the more responsive autofocus it is appreciated for the sharper sharpness, since it uses only the central part of the lenses. The price from new in my opinion is quite high, especially if you consider that it is not an original Pentax project, but having bought it second-hand paying it about 25% less I can not complain. Abundant 7 rating
