Review Summary

If HI quality is what you're after, this lens is an EXCELLENT choice for sharp, clear, fast photography! Amazing smooth manual overrides for zoom & focus, Although stabilization would be a plus, in-body IBIS is adequate. A well-balanced lens even without a tripod! Excellent for the "night stalker" enthusiaist!

It's a fast and spectacular lens which is solidly built. It's going to be my primary wedding lens.

Sharp at all apertures. Wonderful bokeh. On the heavy side but not as heavy as the 150-450. Highly recommend.

I am a working professional and this lens delivers! Most of my work is portraiture, wedding and event. I have used f 2.8 zoom lenses for a while now but rarely did I dare shoot with them wide open because the sharpness just was not there. This lens is on a whole new level. Pentax has really stepped up their game. I can shoot comfortably at 2.8 knowing that this lens will stay sharp. The focus is also very accurate and quick. Lens flare is very very well controlled with the new HD coating and the resulting resolution is gorgeous on the Pentax K1. The bokeh is also a thing of beauty!

Purchased the K1 from Adorama, then the lens. Great service and fast shipping. They make purchasing easy. The lens works great and arrived on time. This is one heavy lens, so I ordered the cotton carrier for added safety and weight relief.

Very good IQ when focus is on, which depending on the subject is fairly accurate. Just a little soft wide open, but not extremely fast to focus for sports or other types of action. Recommended over tamron due to the weather resistance and silent AF.

I used the older FA* 80-200 for quite some time and was hoping for an improvement. I got it! The lens is gorgeous and takes stellar images. The glass is better, the feel is better, the features are better, and the AF is better. Seriously, it's amazing.

It's time to redefine your photography experience with the HD Pentax-D FA 70-200mm f/2.8 ED DC AW Lens, a black masterpiece designed specifically for Pentax K-mount digital SLR cameras. This lens is a part of the esteemed Star series, renowned for their superior image rendition and delivering the highest image quality among all Pentax interchangeable lenses.
This lens stands out with its ability to minimize various aberrations, ensuring your images are always sharp and clear. Its large-aperture design guarantees a consistent F2.8 maximum aperture across all focal lengths, allowing you to capture brilliance, whether you're zooming in on a distant horizon or capturing close-up details.
The lens features advanced Pentax-original lens-coating technologies, including the state-of-the-art Aero Bright Coating II and the superior HD Coating. These technologies promise images that stand out, eliminating flare and ghost images, even in challenging lighting conditions, and delivering super-sharp, high-contrast shots every time.
At the core of this lens is a combination of four super-low dispersion glass elements, two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements, and two Super ED glass elements. This powerful combination ensures chromatic aberration is eliminated across the entire zoom range, resulting in crisp, high-resolution images with mesmerizing edge-to-edge sharpness.
Built for the adventurous photographer, this lens features a robust, dustproof, and weather-resistant body, capable of withstanding harsh outdoor conditions. Whether you're in a desert storm or a tropical downpour, the Pentax HD D FA 70-200mm f/2.8 has got you covered.
When attached to a Pentax K-mount SLR, this lens offers a zoom ratio of approximately 2.9 times, spanning a telephoto range from 107mm to 307mm in the 35mm format. Its expansive aperture and range make it the ideal choice for capturing stunning portraits or freezing intense sports action. With an image circle that accommodates even the 35mm film format SLR cameras, it's not just perfect for today's digital SLR cameras but is future-ready for upcoming models with larger image sensors.
The lens also features the innovative Aero Bright Coating II technology, ensuring reduced light reflectance that outperforms its predecessors. This exceptional lens coating, coupled with the multi-layer HD Coating, promises strikingly reduced flare and ghost imagery, even in the most challenging lighting scenarios like backlighting.
The lens is equipped with the Pentax-developed Quick-Shift Focus System, redefining manual focus operations. With its new three-position switch, you can easily transition among QFS/A, QFS/M, and MF modes, allowing you to capture your subjects with enhanced speed and accuracy.
The Pentax HD D FA 70-200mm f/2.8 is not just a lens; it's an experience, a testament to what happens when craftsmanship meets passion. If photography is your passion, this lens is your companion. Embrace clarity like never before!
