Originally posted by jddwoods My question is would any of the newer zooms, in particular those with DC motors such as the 18-135, 16-85 or DFA 28-105 perform as good as the 55-300 PLM?
Nope, the PLM is currently in a league of its own. That said, all three of these lenses are in fact faster than the 17-70mm. I'd say the 16-85mm would be a worthy upgrade
