"I purchased this product to shoot soccer photos and as a replacement for a 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 lens in order to shoot "under the lights". I have not been dissappointed."

"I use this lens semi-professional and I am extremely happy with this price/quality combination. Constant 2.8 output across the whole zoom range, outstanding resolution and warm color rendition make this lens one of the best choices for Pentax users."

"Images are crystal sharp right from wide open, and the close focus ability is amazing and adds to its versatility. Focus is pretty fast for a screw drive macro, although I occassionally find it useful to spin the quick-shift focus to help it along. Color and contrast are great, and it handles tricky lighting situations well. Flare is pretty much non-existant, even shooting into the sun. The built in lens hood is a nice touch."

"I have been very satisfied: this lens is absolutely great for low light, or portraiture, requiring large apertures. I shoot with a Pentax k-x, non full-frame, and so the focal length is closer to 85 mm, perfect for portraits."

"Stellar performer. Very sharp, and works well with in-body stabilisation, which is more noticable/effective at this focal length. Suprisingly good bokeh! This has now become my default lens bushwalking, with a shorter macro and wide prime in the bag. Very versatile thanks to close minimum focus distance. Not as big as imagined. About as heavy as expected (not light, but probably good for this class of lens). Overall GREAT and well worth the investment."
