Key Features
- K-Mount Lens/APS-C Format
- 84.5-460mm (35mm Equivalent)
- Aperture Range: f/4.5 to f/32
- Extra-Low Dispersion Glass
Versatile and long reaching the HD PENTAX-DA 55-300mm f/4.5-6.3 ED PLM WR RE Lens from Pentax is an 84.5-460mm equivalent telephoto zoom designed for APS-C-format K-mount DSLRs. Ranging from portrait-length to super telephoto, this lens employs extra-low dispersion glass in its optical design in order to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations throughout the expansive zoom range. An HD coating has also been applied to lens elements to minimize flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions. Furthermore, an SP (Super Protect) coating has been applied to the front and rear surfaces of the lens, too, to guard against fingerprints, smudging, and cleaning marks.

" Mr. James B. (Staff)" says this lens will work in a K5 IIs, but in Pentax Forums and Ricoh website, they say it will not operate the diaphragm at all (always wide open), My question is: who is right?. (at least right now, june/2019)
If you upgrade your firmware on your camera to Version IV (4), then the lens will work and you shouldn't have any issues.
