The DA*300mm was my first step into the world of high quality Pentax lenses. After almost half a year ownership I can say that it is worthy of the price and star (*) designation. Optically it is a superb lens. The colors and contrast produced by the lens are top notch. There is barely any need for post-processing as the colors are perfectly saturated. Wide open, sharpness is excellent while also producing smooth "bokeh". Matching the excellent optical quality is also the build quality; it feels solidly built and has weatherseal. At first, the size and weight seemed large and heavy, but after a few uses, I found it very easy to handhold. After a week or two shooting with the lens, I became accustomed to the weight which gives it is a good balance. Handholding the lens which my hand on the hood gives me good stability which enables me to frequently use it as a non-conventional "walk-around" lens. If you are looking for a new nice "fast" telephoto prime from Pentax, this is your only choice, but it's definitely a lens to get to satisfy your telephoto needs. Even adding a quality teleconverter yields excellent results. Using my Tamron 1.4 MC4 teleconverter, I get a very useable 420mm f/5.6 for that little bit of extra reach.Read full review
