This poll seriously needs some APS-c shooters. If you are interested, give us some APS-c votes.

Great light on the 1st. It's a shame that it has been decades since I've last been there! I really need to convince my family to go east sometime soon ...

Going through some images from Namibia a few years back. We arrived in Etosha national park rather late in the day and didn't expect to see anything on our way to the camp. Quite unexpected, then, when it was rush hour at this water hole

The same 55-300 is still my mainstay tele lens.

More from Namibia with the 55-300.

Some hyenas trying to save what's left of their springbok kill.


This lion chased off the hyenas to get some breakfast. Not much left, though.

Great shots, I have 55-300 to, but I see in Poland is much less light now, and it makes this lens a bit too dark :/ I'm waiting for spring

Thanks! I know what you mean about the lack of light this time of year - I live in Norway

Of course, a faster lens would also mean a bigger and heavier lens, which again would mean I'd leave it at home. I quite happily accept all the shortcomings of the 55-300 when it's as small and light as it is. As a travel lens I think it is as close to perfect as you can get.

Blue Jay on my back patio fence; HD 55-300mm DA ED WR with the K5; a very quick grab shot, barely made it!
