You can have a look at the results of the extensive tests of telezooms in Polish magazin "Foto". This new SMC-FA 100-300/4.7-5.8 has quite good resolution at 300 mm (there is small bug in this table - focals should be 100-200-300, not 80-200-320). Resolution at f/11 and 300 mm is higher than the same in FA 80-320 and Sigma APO 70-300. In tables with stars you have following parameters: build quality, convenience, sharpness, light fallof, flare, distortions.
Hello!
Would you mind sharing some experience?
I consider buying a Pentax 100-300 FA lens, the new silver one, f4.7-5.8. But since there has been lots of critics on the 4.5-5.6 lens, I thought I should ask your opinion on the newer lens.
Did Pentax succeed in the necessary improvement? And is the image quality better than the Tamron 100-300 4.5-5.6 manual focus that I have already?
You would be the first to write a review on the net about this lens. Or will I be the first to use it??? :-)
Best regards
Sylwek
