Originally posted by timb64 After much deliberation I’ve decided to replace my DA55-300WR with the newer PLM model for the KP I bought last December.I appreciate in overall IQ terms there won’t be much difference but the AF of the older lens is still noisy and iffy and the newer lens will focus closer,which will be great for pseudo macro work.
Recently got back pay on a pay rise from earlier this year and a good p/x deal on my lens (at least that’s how I justify it to myself and SWMBO!)
Pics to follow,obviously!
I'm trying to come up with some justification for at least the FA85 1.4. Would love to have the new D FA, but it's just not happening since I'm struggling with a reason for even the far cheaper FA outside of "I want it" which doesn't sit well with the wife. When I bought my K-1 a few weeks back it cost me new bedroom decor
EDIT: So this is weird...
After a couple of drinks the justification is so much easier. FA85 on the way. :0
You'll love the new 55-300 PLM if you're into nature. It's a far different animal than the previous one. The time to focus will shock you the first couple of times you use it.
