The PENTAX DA Star 200mm F2.8 ED (IF) SDM is the fastest telephoto lens in Pentax’s high-end product range. For example, on an APS-C like the Pentax K5, its focal length is equivalent to a 300mm on a full-frame camera. With its weather- and dust-resistant construction and fast ultrasonic autofocus, it could prove a great companion for wildlife and sports photographers. |

Sigh
I wanted the K5 a lot. I wish Pentax would produce some good lenses. They're not BAD, but they're also not really good, either.
Oh, and about the bot detection during sign-up, I was so disappointed that I couldn't selection "no" for the question "are you a human." And I REALLY wanted the ability to select "Negative. I am a meat popsicle." Reply |
