Review on 📸 PTX21720 - Pentax SMC PENTAX DA 55-300MM: Captivating Telephoto Lens for Stunning Photography by Stephen Hobbs

Fantastic lens. Yes, it does make a little noise, but if you can live with that then you won't live without this lens. It takes some really amazing photos. I've taken about 4000 shots with this lens and I'm very happy with the clarity of the photos. Even night shots of, say, the moon. I was amazed at the clarity I got from this lens paired with the Pentax K-30. I would definitely buy it again. and I remember someone saying something about scaring wild animals away because of the noise. In any case, wild animals can be quite finicky. They have very sharp ears and eyes. Shh, shut up. Ha ha. but I was still able to get some nice shots despite the noise it made. Which yeah, I wouldn't sneak up on a lion, you can have lunch. :) But let's say at 100 feet you can probably still get a nice shot without being seen. Haha, trade the lion at your own peril, try the bird instead :).
