    I chose this lens for it because it was both in my price range and had good reviews. That was the best choice I could … I have been using DSLR’s for about 5 years. I started with the Canon t3i and when I wore it out I decided to move to Pentax with the K-5IIs. I chose this lens for it because it was both in my price range and had good reviews. That was the best choice I could have made! This is a top-notch lens, especially for the price. I had the long zoom kit lens for my Canon and it was loose and not near the build quality of this lens, nor was it as crystal clear. This lens allows the camera sensor to get the best information possible. I simply cannot say enough good things about it! The only annoyance, as others had noted, was that to zoom past 200mm you have to flip a switch, but its not the end of the world and you get used to it. I literally cried with joy at the images I could get with this. It is quick to focus, stays in the position I put it, is crystal clear, and oh the bokah! Depth of field is amazing, and I am convinced to get a shorter range Sigma for close-up work. You won’t regret…
