Product Overview
HD Pentax DA 55-300mm F4.0-5.8 ED WR is a super telephoto zoom lens for Pentax K-mount. It covers the APS-C image circle. Introduced by Pentax in 2013, it has 12 elements in 8 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the HD Pentax DA 55-300mm F4.0-5.8 ED WR is externally-zooming. For incremental weathers, Pentax is kind enough to include weather sealing.
As a super telephoto zoom lens, the HD Pentax DA 55-300mm F4.0-5.8 ED WR can be quite useful for wild-life and landscape photography. Built-in image stabilization is almost a must-have at this focal range, but this lens curiously omits it. Those who like sunstars (sun bursts) will be pleased by the lens' even-numbered aperture count, though conversely those who find sunstars distracting may have the opposite feeling.
