Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this come with a case?

A: It comes with a soft case

Q: 2. does this work with the pentax 645d?

A: No. This lens is designed to cover the APS-C image format, so larger formats such as full-frame or 645 will be vignetted.

Q: 3. I know this says it's for CF cards. I'm looking for a case that will hold the smaller SD cards in their plastic cases. Do you think the SD case would fit in the pockets of this wallet?

A: Certainly! THis is the reason I got this card case. Just leave/put the cards in their plastic cases and put the cases in the card folder.

Q: 4. If I mount this lens on a APC-S camera it will be 450mm?

A: The crop factor of a Pentax with APS-C sensor is 1.5. The image of a 300mm lens on this sensor is equivalent to a 450mm lens image on a full-frame sensor. Please note that this Pentax 300mm DA lens is designed for APS-C sensor. If used on a full-frame sensor Pentax camera, the periphery of the image (i.e. outside of the cropped area) may be degraded and not as sharp.

Q: 5. Does this item come with tripod mounting bracket?

A: Yes, a tripod mounting ring is included with this lens.

Q: 6. If I use this 300mm f/4 SDM lens on my Pentax K-x DSLR body, does it matter whether the camera is set to AF or MF? Will the choice of manual vs. auto focusing always be determined by the AF/MF setting on the lens? I am confused about the focusing behavior of the camera body and lens combination since both have an AF/MF switch.

A: The focus controls are typically determined by the settings on the lens.

Q: 7. What is the internal volume of the lens sack?

A: If the dimensions of the beanbag are 19.5 x 11.5 inches (49.5 x 29.2 cm), then the overall volume is 224.25 cubic inches (1445.4 cubic centimeters). That converts to about 1.0 US gallon, specifically 0.971 gallon (3.675 liters). Anything more accurate than that could be provided by the manufacturer.

Q: 8. Is the tripod collar removable?

A: The tripod collar on the Pentax SMCP-DA* 300mm f/4 ED (IF) SDM Autofocus Lens for Digital SLR is removable.

Q: 9. How well does this work with the K-3ii and the HD 1.4x teleconverter, does anybody carry this setup when hiking?

A: I use the Pentax 300mm telephoto lens with a Pentax HD 1.4x converter on my Pentax K-3 body. I generally handhold this combination using a high shutter speed and achieve excellent results. the autofocus works well and the combination is lighter than my Sigma 120-400mm zoom telephoto lens.

Q: 10. How does the manual focus ring work with this on, if it is one piece? How will it rotate?

A: The individual LensCoat pieces don't bind at the edges, so I've had no issues with using the manual focus at all. Actually the hardest thing to operate are the switches, but you have to expect that if you're going to cover and protect them.
