agreed , you are comparing different classes of glass . pentax 55-300 is a budget tele lens , but you are comparing it with a internal focus , VR lens which is significantly more expensive .

and there are a lot of motion blurs in your pentax test shot which i think is obvious to see even for a beginner . Take for the 200mm shots for example , view it in 100% and its obvious that the motion blur is visible

@kjie1988 another one, who doesn't read description...The exposure (read exposure time) was the same, that means Pentax senzor stabilization SUCKS.

[kjie1988]

@player1CR And so i thought you said you are only comparing glasses? if you like to compare Image Stabilizer too please use a better body since K5 offer much more better SR than K-x , K-x is just an entry level body . And on the side notes,you pay a lot more for the VR , so thats definitely not an apple with apple comparison , if you like to do a comparison next time , maybe 1st thing is to check the price 1st .

@kjie1988 And you still have not read the description...or you are just simple-minded? The Nikkor 55-300 VR costs the same as Pentax 55-300 DA and it's also better, so what will be your next excuse for poor Pentax lens? :)

@player1CR

Please check before you talk

Pentax 55-300 only cost USD429 , and after promotion USD350 at B&H

Nikkor 70-300 cost USD529

You are making yourself look stupid , and stop your futile personal attack . look whos the simple minded? gosh

[player1CR]

@kjie1988 "You are making yourself look stupid" You are talking about yourself, right? Because Nikkor 55-300 VR costs at B&H 396.95$ (with UV and CP Tiffen filters!!!) and Pentax 55-300 DA costs 429.95$. Muahaha :D

[Jules7892]

I am Sorry Now,I own both NIKKOR Lenses VR-II, & Hologram ED XLT SMC( Super-Multi-Coated Deep Green-Violet PENTAX Apochromatic ED PENTAX Lenses).Expensive are the PENTAX ED SMC Lenses but they have the Edge Flat Field SMC Apochromatic ED NO Aberations Lens PENTAX Exquisite SUPREME Lenses.All my Nikon Lenses VR-II Atthough also NO Colour Aberations,they the NIKON VR-II lenses did have"Very Slight Spherical Aberations at the very Edge of the Field,now this is Hyper-Critical".But PENTAX ED SUPREME!

You sux! Install the Pentax DA L 55-300 to Pentax K-5 or K-7 and shoot. K-5 - the fastest AF than K-x and IS very good. Found to compare: D7000 and Kx: hero, do not say anything.

@bartiha What a stupid comment, there is no D300s. Besides it's a comparison of lenses, not cameras, LOL.
