Pentax 55-300mm WR

Forum comments confirmed!

I had a K50 until about a year ago when I sold it and moved mostly to the m43 system. I used it exclusively with a Sigma 18-250 Macro. My results were very satisfactory to me.

When I saw the recent price reductions on the K50, I bought another one. I considered getting another Sigma 18-250 but checked both Pentax forums for information on other choices. Just when I was ready to buy the 55-300WR, the price dropped on it and I jumped. What a deal!

To the point, I use this lens almost exclusively around my yard for squirrels, birds etc. I'll be using it in Teton/Yellowstone this summer. Most of my shots are at 300mm and I find the lens to be very sharp! I am a happy Pentax owner right now.

Thanks to all who shared their opinions on the K50, but especially the 55-300WR. Fun camera and great lens.
