About this product

Product Information

The SMC Pentax DA 55-300mm F/4-5.8 ED lens is ideal for anyone who prefers carrying around fewer lenses that handle more tasks. With a focal length range of 55-300mm, you can cover a wide variety of photographs, including landscape, portrait, macro, and nature photography. The lens also features a decent aperture range for a lens with a focal length range of 55-300, with the maximum aperture ranging from 4-5.8 depending on the focal length being used. The images that are produced using this lens are very sharp and only the limited maximum aperture prevents it from producing even greater bokeh effects. This Pentax lens does not include a built-in AF motor and relies on the camera's auto focus mechanism.

  • Huge improvement over Kit Lens

    The difference in using the DA 55-300mm versus the kit DAL 55-200mm lens is pretty large. The auto focus is quicker as is the manual focus. The included hood keeps lens flare to a minimum and even at 300mm, the lens takes sharp, hard focused pictures. It is a bit heavier than I expected but has metal mounts so it is not in danger of falling off your camera. My primary walking around lens when there may be a long shot needed. I am very happy I purchased this lens.

  • Great lens for the price!

    This is simply a great lens for the price! I'm not a professional so to spend thousands of dollars on a lens that is only fractionally better makes no sense! A tripod helps a lot with this lens especially at the highest zoom levels! If you read other reviews by Pentax users you'll see this lens rates very high.

  • Great second lens

    Great second lens, without breaking the bank. I am an enthusiastic amateur photographer and this definitely goes with me in my backpack. I have added a third zoom to my kit as well. My three auto focus zoom are 1) 10 to 17, 2) 18 to 55, 3) 55 to 300. They work great for me.

  • Love it his lens. I am now travel with only 2 lenses — this one and a wide angle zoom such as 17 - 35mm). Also: great if you can get VVivitar 13mm.

    This 55-300mm is light, fast and small. Cons: 1. can’t be used as wide angle . Randy limited time 55mm smallest. 2. Not for fast tracking shot. Pros: 1. Good for traveling. 2. Low cost. I paid less than $100 from Ebay. Highly recommended.

  • Great clean and sharp lens

    Great clean and sharp lens. I researched this lens before I purchased it. The lens is very clear and sharp and it has replaced the other telephoto lens in my camera bag.

  • Good inexpensive zoom.

    This is a very good zoom for a modern Pentax DSLR. If you have a standrard 18-55mm lens, and then you add the 55-300mm, you cover 18 to 300mm range. This is more than you need for everyday photography. The only note for this lense, it is not WR and if you want water resistant lens, you may pay another $150 extra.
