Rated 4 out of 5

I have taken some excellent Pics

I get lots of excellent pictures with this lens. But you have to keep an eye on the shutter speed. The miss representation is in the HSM. Pentax models are not HSM. Focusing is done with the camera motor. Still I am very happy with the lens.

great value

I had been looking at long zooms for quite a while and was interested in other 400mm lenses. [...]iI decided to try this one. Wow, am I ever impressed!! As a ski patroller and outdoors type, I use this lens a lot for wildlife and landscapes and its performance is brilliant. I can handhold to about 410mm but find that a monopod is the way to go. I find that its weight actually steadies the lens when handheld, but it is a v. heavy monster.

Excellent lens that is bit heavy

The only downside for this lens its its weight. Earlier I used to have a Tokina 80-400mm lens which is much ligher than this one. It is very hard to get a handheld photograph with this one. And when u do wildlife sometimes u have no time to mount it and get ready. Other than that, this lens is excellent.

This high zoom ratio lens is optimized for digital SLR cameras and capable of covering a wide range of focal lengths from 50mm standard to 500mm ultra telephoto. This ultra-zoom lens employs a seven-group zoom system, which provides a high zoom magnification of 10x. Triple-cam Rear Focusing System ensures high precision throughout the whole focus range.

The new lens coating reduces flare and ghost, which is a common problem of digital cameras and also creates an optimum color balance.

This lens uses four pieces of SLD (the special low dispersion) glass for excellent correction of color aberration. A zoom lock switch eliminates "zoom creep" during transportation, a convenient addition when traveling. The HSM Hyper Sonic Motor models provide quiet high-speed AF function, as well as full-time manual focus capability., The rear focus mechanism produces a non-rotating front lens elementwhich accepts a bayonet "Petal-type Hood", which prevents extraneous light from degrading the image quality.

By adding an APO teleconverter (sold separately), you can use this lens as a 140-700 .... ..7.3-8.8 MF ultra-telephoto zoom lens with a 1.4X EX teleconverter, or as a 200-1000mm F10.4-12.6 MF ultra-telephoto zoom lens with a 2X teleconverter. ..Teleconverters can be used in 100mm 500mm focal length range..
