Originally posted by LeDave That's it, I'm going to delay buying a GPS unit for Astrotracing. I am going to buy the 55-300 first. I've always wanted a longer lens than my 50-135 but I am so broke right now. The 55-300 from what I've seen, is a great budget alternative to DA* 60-250 or DA* 300
I just recently bought mine through a forum member. I really like it right now, it's much beefier than online comments had be believing, it's a well put together lens. I'm still hesitant to push the WR, but it's great that it has it! Would definitely recommend. :-)
Edit, I should say, it's super dim out these days where I am, I can't wait for sunny 16 (or hazy 11) EV days to really let this thing really shine at sport photography.
