Zoom lens for Pentax
#21
In the Pentax world the DA55-300 is a no brainer unless cost is a crucial factor. It generally runs an extra €50 - €75 over the Tamron 70-300. I had both at one stage, gave the Tamron away because I did not like its colour rendition and the fact that it was so clumsy compared to the DA.



Some examples with the DA55-300 from earlier this year



K-5, ISO80, f/7.1, FL 87.5mm, 1/640s

I've tried to show various examples of the FL and shots that had both good and bad lighting. Its fairly light weight, well built and as an addition to the kit kens a versatile companion without spending mega money. Hope these help and good luck with your purchase.
