Sorry to gatecrash the thread but I was pretty pleased with this shot taken with my non-PLM 55-300 on my new KP.The older lens can ,I think ,hold its own in terms of IQ and with the better AF of the KP many of the concerns about its "hunting" are addressed.

OK, without the apostrophe. Thanks Adam.
