Pentax DA 560mm f5.6 ED AW review (1 Viewer)

af seems pretty fast, (see video on youtube)
but obviously it's not ultrasonic

some CA problems noted (longitudinal it seems), strange for a lens in this price segment.
but the CA test is a bit brief,
CA seems only be a problem in extreme high contrast situations,
(ie bad, harsh light, photo situations to avoid anyway)

sharp, good bokeh

very nice alternative for pentax mount,
though price feels a bit on the high side

test is with 16mp cam,

here are more IRL photos with the lens,
they look very good
