The used Pentax SMC DA* 60-250mm f/4.0 ED SDM is a high-performance telephoto zoom lens designed exclusively for use with Pentax APS-C DSLRs.
It offers a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 92-383mm while maintaining a constant f/4 aperture throughout its zoom range. This makes it a great lens choice for any time you need extended reach but can’t sacrifice a fast aperture, such as sporting events or distant action photography. The DA* 60-250mm’s two extra-low dispersion elements provide high resolving power with minimal optical aberrations.
It features Pentax’s Supersonic Drive Motor system, which provides fast, silent, and accurate autofocus performance.
As one of Pentax’s DA*-series lenses, the 60-250mm has several key features that set it apart from many other lenses. Since it’s designed for crop-frame APS-C sized sensors, it offers a reduced physical size and weight. It features the DA*-series’ standard fully weather-sealed build, with Pentax’s SP-coating for a dust- and water-resistant front element.
