Up Where the Air is Clear

Photo Information

Finally got outside on a snowy day, here in Midwest Illinois, USA, with my newly purchased Pentax 55 - 300 to tests it's sharpness in open air (as i had been previously doing wildlife shots through my windows). Overall. pretty impressed with this lens. Using it on a K5iis.

Thanks all! 😊
Yes, the clarity of this lens impresses me also, especially since I only paid $255 US, new from B&H Photo. Looks like I got a good copy, too! 😄

Cheers...Donna 😊
