Great all purpose lense

My previous Sigma 28-300 was stolen, and I replaced it. I use it with Pentax K10D and K20D cameras. This is a great general-purpose lens giving a wide zoom range. It is a bit large, and when hanging around your neck with the lens down, the weight will sometimes slowly slide the zoom out -- not a big thing. I have gotten some great shots, good focus, with no distorting artifacts.

Excellent companion

I call it my "travelen buddy" as I not only shoot with a K10D, I also use my Pentax PZ1p. Very useful and sharp on both. It's weight allows me to carry both when I go into the field.

This digitally optimized zoom lens provides a high zoom magnification of 10.7x. The new lens coating reduces flare and ghosting, a common problem with digital cameras and also creates an optimum color balance. The 10.7x zoom ratio covers a wide range of focal length from wide angle to tele-photo making this a highly versatile lens ideally suited for many types of photography. This lens features two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements and four Aspherical Lenses, to produce a high level of optical performance. Aspherical lenses provide excellent correction for all types of aberration while making a very compact construction possible.

The 28-300mm F3.5-6.3 DG MACRO lens has a minimum focusing distance of 50cm at all focal lengths and is equipped with a macro mechanism for close-up photography at 300mm telephoto, allowing a reproduction ratio of 1:3.

The zoom lock switch eliminates "zoom creep" during transportation, a convenient addition when traveling. The inner focusing system gives the advantage of a non-rotating front lens assembly, which is of great benefit when using polarizing filter and the matched Petal-shaped lens hood supplied.
