Pentax's budget APS-C telephoto — 82.5-450mm equiv with ED glass and Quick-shift focus.

The Pentax SMC DA 55-300mm f/4-5.8 ED (original version, ~2006-2007) is the telephoto zoom for Pentax K-mount APS-C, covering 84-460mm equivalent. Twelve elements in 8 groups with 1 ED element. Six aperture blades. 58mm filter thread. At 440g. 1.40m MFD. No weather resistance (non-WR version).

Twelve elements in 8 groups (1 ED element). Six aperture blades. The 58mm filter thread. At 440g the lens is moderate. Minimum focus distance of 1.40m (0.28× maximum magnification). Quick-shift focus (manual focus override). No weather resistance (non-WR). Variable aperture from f/4 at 55mm to f/5.8 at 300mm. APS-C image circle. Pentax K-mount.

The original SMC DA 55-300mm was succeeded by the HD DA 55-300mm f/4-5.8 ED WR (2013, id=883), which added HD multi-coating and weather resistance. Both share the same 12/8 optical formula and 6-blade aperture, but differ in coating and sealing. The original non-WR version is usable for standard outdoor telephoto photography without the sealing premium.

On the used market the Pentax SMC DA 55-300mm f/4-5.8 ED is affordable as a Pentax telephoto zoom. Condition checks: AF response, 58mm front element for marks, zoom ring smoothness. No WR sealing. Compatible with Pentax K-mount APS-C bodies.
