Pros: Excellent image quality and reliability

Cons: Size and Weight

Opinion: Despite being an outdated, 90s lens, it continues to offer excellent performance, especially in combination with the PENTAX-DA HD 1.4x AW AF converter. I bought it used for this very reason, and I can confirm that it is a winning combination. Its reliability is indisputable, and the quality of the images it manages to capture is truly remarkable. Unlike the 55-300 HD PLM, which is significantly lower when used with the same multiplier. While the size and weight can be a minor drawback, anyone who decides to go out for a photo session with a 300mm knows what to expect in terms of portability. Ultimately, a lens that proves to live up to expectations, despite its age
