FYI I had the 55-300mm lens (not the new one, but they share the same optics). It is one of the best bang-for-the-buck lenses ive ever owned.
Thanks for listening to me and adding your comments. I paid attention to your last comment on the 55-300 and I will give it a try when I get things straighten out with returning the 60-250mm. You have an impressive array of equipment and I see that you do have a 60-250 and I assume you like it or you won't have it. When I get a piece of equipment that I like I hang on to it. I was very fortunate to deal with a small camera store in Union NJ. The hands on owner was very savvy (and honest) and I trusted his judgement. I used photo equipment in my business and took an average of 250 photos per week. I'll not bore you with all the equipment I went through. He turned me on to Pentax and I had the first auto focus film camera they produced; forget the model number. I got two lens with it; SMC FA 35-70 and the SMC FA 70-210. I still have and use the two lens. Also a Tokina 20-35 WA that was known as the Fantastic Plastic. That kit handled all my business needs. Also a few other misc lenses. I bought my step daughter a K30 and she now has a number of my lenses; one is the Pentax 28-105mm that came with my PZ1P film camera. That was, in my opinion, a very good lens. That's her go-to lens on the K30. My oldest daughter, from seeing me using the camera equipment, developed an interest and went to college for photography and became a Professional Photo Journalist for the largest NJ Newspaper the Star Ledger. She was there for 20+ yrs and now works freelance. She shoots full frame Cannon and her lenses (only two) are Pro lenses both F2.8. Isn't strange that a large number of Pro's only have a few lenses ! ?. I do have a Pentax nifty/fast fifty 1.4. I think it is a super lens. Picked it up at a camera show in Wayne NJ in pristine like new condition for about $75-100; no more then that. Best buy on a lens that I ever made. That was about 25yrs ago. I'm retired in Florida. Have had an on again off again love affair with cameras. I started, and oversee a going Photo Club in my community of about 40 menbers and growing. Stay tuned.
