Description of ๐Ÿ“ธ HD PENTAX-D FA 70-210mm F4ED SDM WR: Professional Telephoto Zoom Lens with Constant f/4 Aperture, Weather-Resistance, and Close Focusing Capability

IN-CAMERA SHAKE REDUCTION (SR): The PENTAX digital SLR K series cameras are equipped with the SR mechanism built into the camera body. Because shake reduction is applied in the camera body, this means that any lens compatible with the K-Series cameras will benefit from image stabilization. HIGH IMAGE QUALITY: By using three ED glass lens elements and two super-low dispersion glass lens elements, a clear image is achieved with less chromatic aberration. Thanks to the 20 elements sharp images are captured even at the edges at any given focal length. HD COATING TO ENHANCE IMAGING POWER: Produce high-contrast images with edge-to-edge sharpness, free of flare and ghost images. SUPER PROTECT (SP) COATING: This PENTAX-original technology uses a fluorine coating that is applied to the front surface of the lens. This prevents adhesion of dust, water drops, grease and other substances, whilst making it easier to clean. WEATHER-RESISTANT CONSTRUCTION: The lens offers protection against water drops making it highly reliable, even when shooting outdoors. CLOSE UP SHOOTING: High-quality optics provide a minimum focusing distance of 0.95 meters, allowing for use in a variety of situations. BUILT-IN RING SDM (SUPERSONIC DIRECT-DRIVE MOTOR): By adopting a ring SDM design, it gives high torque which enables a quieter and smoother AF operation when compared to AF operation directly in the camera and is easy and comfortable to use when focusing. ROUNDED DIAPHRAGM: Nine-blade, round-shaped diaphragm to produce a natural, beautiful bokeh (defocus) effect. KAF4 MOUNT: This lens features a KAF4 lens mount compatible with an electromagnetic diaphragm control system. Cameras compatible with this system are K-1 Mark II, K-1, K-3 II, KP, K-70, K-3, K-S2, K-S1 and K-50. For K-1, K-3 II, K-3, K-S2, K-S1 and K-50, the cameraโ€™s firmware must be upgraded to the latest version. If this lens is mounted on a camera without proper firmware upgrade, its diaphragm control mechanism becomes inactive, making it impossible to obtain correct exposure. WHAT'S IN THE BOX: Includes Lens Hood (PH-RBP67), Front lens cap(O-LC67) and Lens mount cap K. Image Stabilization: Optical.

Type of review

If you intend to use this lens in combination with a doubler or multiplier, the autofocus will most likely not work. The focus mechanism is not compatible.

Pros
  • KAF4 TERMINAL: This lens is equipped with a KAF4 terminal compatible with electromagnetic iris control. Cameras compatible with this system: K-1 Mark II, K-1, K-3 II, KP, K-70, K-3, K-S2, K-S1 and K-50. For K-1, K-3 II, K-3, K-S2, K-S1 and K-50, please update the camera firmware to the latest version. If this lens is attached to a camera without a proper firmware update, the aperture control mechanism will stop working, making correct exposure impossible.
Cons
  • May cause injury

One of my favorites

, now my favorite Pentax lens. Internal Zoom! weather seal! Image quality outperforms the Pentax 60-250mm everywhere except at close range. Edge/Corner IQ is better than 60-250mm anyway. Buy your Pentax camera without hesitation.

Pros
  • WATER RESISTANT DESIGN: The lens is waterproof, making it very reliable even when shooting outdoors.
Cons
  • Dear

Excellent Value, Excellent Performance

I photograph a lot of wildlife and landscapes, but if I want a great all-round lens I don't want to skimp on quality. This lens has excellent image quality. It's durable and features professional quality Pentax glass. It was built by Tamron for Pentax. That means you can save around $600 by choosing this lens instead of paying a premium price for a Pentax 70-200 f/2.8 lens. At f/4.0 throughout the zoom range, I find this lens fast enough for sports and outdoor activities, and I've used it toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • SUPER PROTECT (SP) COATING: This original PENTAX technology uses a fluoride coating that is applied to the front of the lens. This prevents dust, water drops, grease and other substances from sticking and makes cleaning easier.
Cons
  • Negative is present
