If you own a Pentax Digital SLR (DSLR) then it may have come with the Pentax SMC DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens. This is a great lens so that you can take indoor and close quarter photos since it is equivalent to a 35mm 27-82mm lens. The Pentax SMC DA 55-300mm f/3.5-5.6 lens is a great choice for a second lens because it gives you seamless coverage (with DA 18-55mm lens) from 18mm to 300mm. However, when I shoot, I normally work in the short telephoto range. I like the compression and working distance this focal range gives me. So when I use the two Pentax DA kit lenses, they cross in the short telephoto range at 55mm. While I'm shooting, I find myself always changing lenses and forth to get the right shot. Solution ... Pentax SMC 28-80mm F/3.5-5.6 Lens. This lens has auto exposure and auto focus and gives me a 35mm equivalent of 42mm to 120mm lens on my Pentax DSLR. This gives me a normal focal lens that zooms all the way through the short telephoto focal length. This is by far my favorite lens and the one that I keep mounted on my body for the all occasion grab shot. Try it, you will like it!Read full review
I like this lens as a semi professional wild life photographer because I can go through the woods and branches and just all over the place and not have to carry 3 or 4 lenses with me because this on does pretty much close ups and a long range shot and actually can't believe some of the shots that I have shot with this lens and camera K100D Great set up for those who want really nice shots
I love my new lens! I am a new photographer starting out, this is the exact size I have been needing for my shoots. Works perfect with my camera.
It is just what I needed for the right price as I am a beginner in DSLR photography.It was just what I needed for the price I could afford. If you do your homework e-bay is a goodand safe place to shop.
