Great for taking pictures of grand kids without being in their face.

The lens worked very well with my K7 Pentax

I replaced old Pentax F 100-300 4,5-5,6 with this new Pentax 55-300. The optical quality is very nice also on 300mm , low CA, good in backlight, but the AF speed is very slow even in comparison with the old Pentax 100-300.

I have actually [partially] replaced a Sigma 105mm macro (a great lens) with this one. It is such a surprising product. I chose it based on reviews (not on this site, which I began consulting later), but I feel it is underappreciated. I am not too...

I bought this lens to capture high school soccer action. It integrates well both with the Pentax K20D and Ist D cameras and has provided good images even at low light (dusk) shooting conditions under field lights. The minimum focus distance has not...

I am new to shooting moving objects.It is light weight and easy to get centered on the shots.The lense auto focus is a little erattic at first but I figured it out after 1/2 an hour of shooting. Not a long time in the over all sceme of learning to use...

I have owned the Tamron and Quantaray 70-300mm lens, they had too much PF for me. I bought the Sigma 70-300mm APO instead. The Sigma was fine but for its softness ~300mm at all but the highest f numbers (over f7). The Pentax 55-300mm is very good at...
