Worthy lens for indoor shooting and sports

I purchased this lens for low light indoor use and outside sporting events. With the AF/MF switch on the lens it allows you to use catch in focus as if it was a manual lens. Very important for quick shots. I've got the DA*50-135 and this lens compliments it well. I also have an F*300 for even longer shots. This lens fills the void between the two plus it's excellent for taking indoor shots in low light. Highly recommended.

Compact Giant

A great telephoto lens in a compact light weight hand holdable package. You get the equlivent of 300mm f2.8 lens crop factor when used with a Pentax APC sensor camera. Great for wildlife and sports photograpy. The lens tack sharp and renders beautiful color and great bokeh.

Stellar performance and build quality

Every aspect of this lens impresses me each time I use it. The weight and balance works easily hand held. The auto focusing is lightning quick and manually is butter smooth. Images are crisp and clean with deep color. It is built like a tank and I have no reservations about shooting with it in any weather.

Sharptastic lens!!

It's a REALLY good lens, You just want all your lens set to be the same. The only problem would be the weight of your backpack then.
