That's not true, the optics and the build quality of both lenses are the same.
Pentax only remove some features from the DA to make the DA-L lighter and less expensive.

The things they took out are.
- the hood
- quick-shift (with this you can manual adjust the focus of the lens even when it's on auto-focus)
- metal lens mount, they replace that to a plastic one
I see. Thank you Stefan. But I can still get a hood that will fit it, right?

Hello everyone! Thank you for all your advises.. They are really very helpful. I'm quite happy with the 18-55mm kit lens when I use my camera indoors but when I am outside, I really can't zoom in far subjects. I am considering the 55-300 DA L which they say is made of plastic since I think it will be convenient for me (considering John's advice as well)than the DA which is made of metal. But then, some reviews in the internet said the DA is better. Is there really a difference between the two you reckon?

Hi! I'm planning to buy a lens for my K-x but I am confused which one is best for a beginner like me. I have the 18-55 that came with my kit. I like taking macro, potraiture, and grab shots. Any advice?

I enjoyed the link so much.

What lens is best for capturing pictures that are crisp and sharp like these? I'm a new pentax user and I'm still getting to know my k-x with its 18-55mm kit lens. Should I buy a new lens, what do u recommend? I love taking macro, portrait especially children, and candid shots....

Thanks!
