Nice closeup, rhanz. You really captured the details and colors well with the 55-300, PLM, very well. Perhaps, I should use mine a little more. Todd seems to have good success with this lens, also.

That lens lives on my K 3 camera, I really like it. Thanks for the your comments.

That lens certainly had no trouble capturing every fine detail on this creature.
Very good shot of it.

Excellent dragonfly capture rhanz. The 55-300 PLM really shines with these kinds of insect images. It has a very good minimum focusing distance for a 300mm telephoto lens.
