It's price rises the question "Is it worth it?" Well if I compare it with prices of DA* 200/2.8 and DA* 300/4 and my experience with the two, I'd say yes if you can afford it. After all it's a zoom lens with picture quality only a notch behind fore mentioned primes.The lens is at 1040g 30g lighter than DA* 300/4. Zooming is smooth and the lens won't creep when upwards or downwards. Focusing ring has 80° travel which makes it harder to manual focus when compared to DA* 200/2.8 and DA* 300/4 that both have 220° travel. The solution fir removing tripod collar is rather interesting. Common solution is that the collar is removed all together. With DA* 60-250 the collar always stays on, only the foot gets removed. While some may complain that the lens is heavier due to collar that can't be totally removed I find it rather practical. It's much faster to remove/install just the foot.AF is always spot on and it doesn't hunt. Optically the lens is a big surprise. At f4 pictures are quite sharp and I doubt one could tell the difference between f4 and f5.6 on A3 print. I was surprised to see that the lens doesn't loose quality at all at the tele end. The only weak point of this lens is wide end (60-70mm).

I have been using Pentax * lenses for over 25 years and have never been dissapointed with thier quality. THis lens maintains the quality, I was a little reluctant in the first place because of the huge zoom range 60-250 mm but it seems to be very sharp accross the whole range. I used it with a vengence over the past two weeks at two airshows and am impressed with the results, sharp and contrasty pictures so I would recomend this lens to anyone
