Enlighten your images using HD Pentax-DA 55-300mm F4.5-6.3ED PLM WR RE Camera Lens, now with improved minimum focusing distance. Pentax has yet gained another plus for photographers on the go.

It has a newly developed Quick-Shift Focus System for fast manual focusing in AF mode and SP (Super Protect) coating for additional protection. It features 58mm filter diameter and consists of aspherical elements to balance aberrations for high-contrast, sharp, well-compensated images. It is compatible with PENTAX K-mount digital single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras.
