Best camera for the pentax smc da 300mm f 4 ed if sdm?

For wildlife with this lens, I'd start with the Pentax K-3 Mark III. It's an APS-C body, the format this lens is made for, so you get the full reach, about 450mm equivalent, with no cropping.

The Pentax K-1 Mark II is a full-frame body that can use this lens in APS-C crop mode. You'll get fewer megapixels that way, so it only makes sense if you already shoot full frame for other work.

If you want to spend less, the Pentax KP is another APS-C option that fits this lens.

For how the crop works out, see sensor sizes.
