The bundle you get comes with a 75-300mm which is a telephoto lens and the attachment lens are made for 75-300mm. This packet is basically for people who want to take long ranged pictures while this package is for short range and mid range pics. Other than the lenses you get the same things with both.

The difference is the lens. You will have a gap of 20mm that you can't make up unless you buy the 55-250. That is why I bought this package. But keep in mind that even though the other one is cheaper, you eventually find that you will need the 55-250mm lens.

Very strange, but they have the same lens listed twice! I was wondering this too..but they're the same lens. Sorry for the late response!

I own both. This is sharper and faster to focus than the 70-300. With either lens, "faster" is not a consideration. Both lenses are sharpest at f8 and require plenty of bright light. BTW, the lens hood from the 70-300 works on this version for those wondering...

wow... you're using the 75-300 and need more zoom? First try cropping your pictures and see if you can still get decent results... otherwise you're going to have to get better lenses which aren't going to be cheap.

Okay, thanks a lot, new at this and I wasn't sure if the lens quality is the same. I appreciate everyone's help!

Not certain about the specific package you are looking at. But ours included the lens indicated here (14-42mm) and it is very nice and works well. Not the most low profile due to zoom mechanism. As described, other lenses are available.

My understanding is the 55-300 DA L is sold as part of the kit only. The optical performance apparently is the same, but it is a lighter lens matched to the K-X. You have already mentioned the other differences. I have the same kit you do. You may also want to do a search on the Pentax User Forum. I have found many of my Pentax K-X questions are common ones that have been posed & answered before.

I bought one of these white box offers. It means it came in a kit sale with multiple lens. These lens came packed in separate packing, the white box. Some people would rather upgrade to a better lens. Some of the better lens cost more than the camera. Over all, it works just fine and I could tell mine was not used. That being said, the better the lens, more options for a clearer more defined focus at distances. Hope this helps

The kit came with two off-brand lenses - the 75/300 is cannon and the lens withing the camera box is cannon as well. The other two are off brands.

The most important difference is the lense 34X. The rest, both cameras are fine. Ral

If you really want an all purpose lens, this is it. You can't photograph anything close to you with a 75-300mm. That lens is strictly a zoom lens. With it going down to 18mm, you can take a photo of someone sitting two feet away or 200 feet away. It keeps you from having to buy two lenses to replace this one, and that's where the savings comes in. Well worth it in my opinion. It never leaves my camera unless I'm doing a professional shoot with a prime lens.

I believe that the 75-300mm lens is non-USM. I do not see the letters anywhere on the lens. The neat thing about the lens is that is can be either manual or auto focus. There is so much to this camera, probably too much for my poor brain, that I am taking a camera class to figure out exactly what this thing does. Good Luck.

I received this kit today, it has the kit lens and a second lens, but it's 50-200, not the 55-300 pictured. Big difference.

It has an adapter so you can use 72mm put the adapter ring on and use the 58mm I bought the 58mm to start with and the picture was better without it. I have not tried other lenses yet.

I ordered that package but with an additional lens from the same company and everything was brand new in the original packaging. Very happy with everything. Also, they shipped immediately. I paid for regular ground delivery and was told to expect to receive it in 5-7 business days. It shipped within an hour of ordering and was on my doorstep 2 days later .

The 75-300mm doesn't have Image Stabilization, has (I believe) a different lens grouping, and this has a wider focal length giving you more flexibility as a "walk-around" lens. In basic terms...-Can zoom really wide and really far in, compared to the very zoomed in 75-300mm.-Has image stabilization; good for non shaky video.-better lens grouping.
