## Questions & Answers

**Q: is the lens sharp at full distance when used for sporting events requiring a fast shutter speed?**
A: I also have a Sigma 50-500mm (Bigma) that is highly rated, I find this lens to compare favorably and being much smaller much easier to get steady & sharp hand-hel results at 300mm. Took photos at a band concert a week ago (indoors) and was impressed that I could read the type on name tags music stand from a distance. Basically a very sharp lens for the money. I highly recommend.

**Q: How does the IQ of this lens compare with the Sigma 70-300mm?**
A: The biggest difference is that this lens is weather sealed, while the Sigma 70-300mm is not. Its range also meshes well with the stock 18-55mm kit lens. Regarding IQ, the only head to head test I found seemed to indicate IQ was similar except at the far end (270-300mm) where the Pentax had slightly better IQ. But the two lenses are close enough that if I hadn't valued the weather sealing I probably would have gotten the Sigma at half the price -- the reality is that neither is a professional grade lens and neither will give you professional-grade IQ at 300mm.

**Q: Is this the weather resistant version as the "WR" in the name suggests?**
A: I have three new Pentax lenses (18-135mm,  55-300mm, 100mm macro).  They are all WR lenses.  I don't have any newer non-WR lenses to compare, but the WR versions have a visible orange colored "O-Ring" in the face of the mount.  There are no other obvious differences indicating weather resistance.  My older Pentax lenses do not have the O-Ring.  I bought these lenses with a new K5-II, and I'm very pleased with the combinations. (Far superior to my older K100D!)  I hope this helps.

**Q: will it work on the k500**
A: will it work on the k3 2?
