Well many would find the lack of QS a real issue, given the way focus can hunt (although personally it doesn't bother me). And of course AF isn't a patch on the PLM and the bokeh isn't as good. But the resolution from the screw-driven 55-300 rivals that of the PLM, maybe even beats it at the long end (my copies anyway), especially when stopped down. I completely agree that for <$US100 for one in good condition, the DA-L is a great buy.
