The compact and lightweight design, which weighs about 819g and is convenient to carry, covers the image circle of the 35mm full-size image sensor. With an angle of view equivalent to a focal length of 70 to 210 mm, it is easy to take handheld shots. Easy telephoto zoom lens. Adopts the latest high-performance multi-coating HD coating that suppresses the average reflectance in the visible light region to about 50% or less compared to the conventional one. Compared to conventional multi-coating, it has less reflection and higher transmittance, and effectively suppresses the occurrence of ghosts and flares under harsh shooting conditions such as backlight. Uses a drip-proof structure that prevents water droplets from entering the lens. Combined with the PENTAX digital SLR camera body that uses a drip-proof structure, it improves reliability in rainy weather, fog, and places exposed to water. SP (Super Protect) coating is used on the front of the lens. By depositing a special fluorine-based substance, it has water repellency and oil repellency, is hard to get dirty, and can easily remove oil stains such as fingerprints, so it can be used safely even in an outdoor shooting environment. The latest ultrasonic motor (SDM) mounted in the lens realizes high-speed and quiet AF for comfortable operation.

I've only had this lens for a few days, but I'm sure my first impressions will stick. I've tired it out on both the Pentax K3 II and K1 and so far it has handled everything I wanted it for, close-ups, landscapes and action shots. I haven't found anything to disappoint.

I very happy with this lens, I purchased this for my recent trip to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. Very sharp, quiet, and lightweight. I'm actually more impressed than I anticipated being. Shot some Bison and the eyes were tack sharp. Don't need the heavy 2.8 for landscape shooting.

I also shoot Canon and this Pentax 70-210mm f/4 lens is really just an incredible lens, just about as sharp as it's Canon equivalent. (need to pixel peep to see the difference except right at the long end I would say the Canon 70-200 f/4 is slightly sharper. Regardless, I am very satisfied with this Pentax lens and it's image quality is superb.

Lightweight, semi long distance zoom (210mm is sufficient for my needs; especially with pixel shift resolution that can be bumped up significantly, ponder) which excels. Even without a lens foot the weight with my K-1 isn't an issue (use a MeFOTO RoadTrip Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod Kit - BH #MEC1350Q1K). Have put the lens through the paces with my ongoing nocturnal shooting across NYC as well as rooftop shoots. A welcome addition to my lens arsenal, many thanks to Pentax.
The Pentax HD FA 70-210 F4 zoom is a great addition to my lens kit for use with Pentax K1 and K3 bodies. Some of my telephoto options are shown in the photo to demonstrate relative size.From left is a Pentax FA 400mm F5.6, a Pentax A series 300mm F4 (my go to compact telephoto for hiking trips), the new D FA 70-210 F4, and a Pentax A 70-210 F4.Edge to edge clarity is much improved on the full frame K1 compared to the older Pentax A series manual focus 70-210 F4 lens and the macro setting also gets you a little closer too.I did look at the faster Pentax D FA 70-200 F2.8 but did not need the extra weight, so this 70-210 F4 will be perfect and nicely complements my Pentax D FA 24-70 F2.8 standard lens.B&H offered the best price I have seen, super fast ... MoreThe Pentax HD FA 70-210 F4 zoom is a great addition to my lens kit for use with Pentax K1 and K3 bodies.

I bought my K1 thinking that my Pentax/Ricoh legacy K-mount Legacy lenses would work with the new digital cameras. I was very disappointed. None of the lenses had the field resolution or color fidelity to match the capabilities of my K1. I had been very happy with my Pentax HD Pentax-D FA 24-70mm f/2.8ED SDM WR Lens, but I was still relying on legacy prime lenses for telephoto (up to 135mm). Because purchasing a new HD was a substantial investment I debated going with the f 2.8 of the f 4 telephoto zoom. B&H reviews, as always, helped me make my decision. I primarily take landscape and nature photos, most often with a tripod in conditions of low light. The weight and size of the lens was also a strong consideration as I often hike with my camera. I selected the f 4 ... MoreI bought my K1 thinking that my Pentax/Ricoh legacy K-mount Legacy lenses would work with the new digital cameras. I was very disappointed.

I primarily take landscape and nature photos, most often with a tripod in conditions of low light. The weight and size of the lens was also a strong consideration as I often hike with my camera. I selected the f 4 over the f 2.8 for these reasons. The lens is amazing for my uses: bright colors and needle sharp resolution across the focus plane. This is the perfect choice for the K1 and the way I use it.
This Pentax 70-210mm f/4 zoom lens when attached to my full frame Pentax K-1 Mark II DSLR produce very sharp images even when paired with the Pentax 1.4 Teleconverter. The lens is well balanced hand held.
I had avoided upgrading to full frame because I wasn’t about to lug the heavy 70-200/2.8 around the world. When Pentax z bounced the much lighter70-210/4, I jumped in. It makes me very happy that they did andctvst I did.It’s a very handy optic. The absence of a tripod collar is easily remedied with the use of the Tamron collar for its own 70-210. It fits the Pentax lens like a glove. Like all such zooms, the best sharpness is I gained slightly away from the extremes of the optical range and stopped down at least a bit from wide open.
This is a great lens. The f/4 aperture keeps the weight much lower than f/2.8 70-200mm zoom telephoto lenses. It maintains all full automatic features when coupled with the Pentax 1.4x extender and this combination allows this lens to replace two larger and much heavier lenses. This is especially important for travel.
Excellent overall optical quality & automatic focus system. Well balanced, hand held, with a full frame camera. Use on a ball head requires a larger ball mount and significant tightening of the friction control. I likely will purchase a review suggested tripod collar to improve the ball head use. Of course, balances easily on a gimbal head. Pleasing bokeh.
