Pros: Hike, small size, overall quality

Cons: Af noisy, not weather sealed

Opinion: Honest good quality telephoto zoom lens. Do what you must do and does it well, giving quality images much more than satisfactory. Af a little noisy. Good quality / price ratio especially following the release of version wr-hd. Overall, however, the judgment is thoroughly positive and definitely the 55-300, the so-called sport is one of those goals that must not be missed in the kit pentaxiano good.

Pros: Focal length, compactness, low weight

Cons: Autofocus to whisk very noisy

Opinion: It 'a tele-zoom of good quality in relation to price, very compact and lightweight, has A resolution discreet, always in relation to prezzo.rnOttimo lens for the holidays and for photos without much need to crop. E 'out the new version tropical conditions, which unfortunately keeps the autofocus beater that to me is the major limitation of this objective, because it is very noisy

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.

Pros: very versatile, light, good sharpness across the focal length, I recommend at least close to f7

Cons: improved speed, not bright

Opinion: First of all, precisely this review does not want to be that of an expert, but an end user who has had the opportunity to use this lens several times and finally bought it. So any kind of technicality but simple impressions of Use. Maybe some other user will find this review interesting and fundamental to understand the real potential of the lens for a home use. The lens in question is the Pentax SMC DA 55-300 F4, 5/5.8 ED. In my case it replaces the good and honest 50-200, which I found exceptional in some situations but very short in many others. The rest of the review, if permitted by the regulation, the Linko to my site, since it is quite long. so let me know if I take it off. - Http://www.iltexano.com/portale/pentax-smc-da-55-300-ed.html
