Review on πŸ“· Pentax HD DA 55-300mm f/4.5-6.3 ED PLM WR RE Lens: Ultimate Long Zoom Performance for Professional Photographers by Buffy Nystrom

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Brilliant kit

I had the original 55-300 which has recently run down and looks just as if not better. It's very light and compact for a zoom of this magnitude, but loses half an aperture compared to its predecessor. In practice, I found this irrelevant as I didn't take this lens with me for low light shots anyway. What makes a big difference is its incredibly fast focus speed, the fastest of any Pentax lens I've used by a wide margin.

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • For the old
