Pentax HD DA 55-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Lens for Photographers

Introducing a compact telephoto zoom lens that boasts impressive autofocus (AF) performance along with a minimal focusing distance of just 0.95 meters. This versatile zoom lens offers a focal length range from 84.5mm up to an outstanding 460mm, effectively covering medium to super-telephoto shooting needs in the 35mm format.

One of the key features of this lens is its enhanced AF capabilities, which ensure quiet and rapid autofocus when capturing still images. Additionally, when recording videos, the lens maintains smooth AF tracking, which minimizes operational noise from both focusing and aperture adjustments. This is particularly beneficial for filmmakers seeking to create a seamless audio-visual experience.

The lens incorporates PENTAX’s first K mount with an electromagnetic diaphragm control system, designed specifically to facilitate quiet operation during video recording. With its nine-blade diaphragm, it not only enhances overall image quality but also contributes to beautiful bokeh effects, making your subjects stand out against a pleasingly out-of-focus background.

Constructed with a rear focus system and equipped with a PLM (Pulse Motor) direct drive lead screw mechanism, this lens ensures a noiseless zooming experience along with high-speed autofocus. Its collapsible design further enhances portability, making it an ideal choice for both amateur and professional photographers on the go.

In terms of durability, this telephoto zoom lens is weather-resistant, allowing you to capture stunning shots even in challenging conditions. The use of Extra-low Dispersion (ED) lens elements guarantees exceptional sharpness and vibrant colors, elevating your photography results to new heights.

Additionally, the lens features HD coating that optimizes light transmission while reducing reflections, which is crucial for capturing images in various lighting scenarios. The Quick Shift Focus System allows for instantaneous switching between autofocus and manual focus just by twisting the focus ring, providing photographers with flexibility and control based on their needs.

To further enhance its resilience, the front surface of the lens is treated with Super Protect (SP) Coating, which effectively repels water and grease, ensuring that your lens remains clear and ready for action.

Overall, this compact telephoto zoom lens combines advanced technology with practical features to deliver remarkable performance in a wide range of photographic situations. Whether you're shooting wildlife, portraits, or expansive landscapes, its impressive focal length, rapid AF system, and thoughtful design elements will help you achieve your creative vision with ease. Embrace new opportunities in photography with this versatile and robust telephoto lens that promises to be a reliable companion for capturing unforgettable moments.
