You are considering the Pentax AF mount, Quantaray (manufactured by Sigma) 70-300 mm f/4-5.6 LDO Macro (1:2) telephoto zoom lens pictured. It is in virtually new condition with little, if any evidence of use. As nice as you are likely to find. Absolutely no dents, dings or scratches that I can see and it is in perfect shooting condition.

The glass is clean and clear. The aperture blades are oil-free and snappy. The aperture ring clicks positively. The focus and zoom actions are smooth and the barrel is virtually spotless. Very nice indeed.

Features of this lens include the venerable Pentax AF, K Mount, a fast maximum aperture of f/4, rugged construction (not found in many lenses of similar spec), LDO (Low Dispersion Optics. It's a good thing!) glass for outstanding sharpness, contrast and color rendition, a Macro mode of 1:2 (one-half life-size on the film or sensor!), a filter size of 58 mm and more.

If you have been shooting with that 55-200 kit lens, then you are in for a pleasant surprise! The sharpness, contrast and color rendition of this telephoto zoom lens will blow you away. No kit zoom can even come close to the image quality that this lens will provide. It is tack-sharp and just a pleasure to use.

This lens will work with all Pentax 35 mm SLRs and Pentax DSLRs and any other brands that have the Pentax K Mount). On a crop-sensor DSLR camera this lens will (effectively) be a 105-315 mm lens. On 35mm SLRs, it of course, remains a 70-300 mm lens.
