I cannot argue with this, I have both and they are my most used lenses. They both are WR, fast to focus, and deliver good IQ. The PLM has such good IQ with such a zoom range. Both are small also.
Originally posted by BigMackCam The DA16-85 plus DA55-300 PLM would make an excellent combo in terms of uninterrupted focal length range, image quality across that range, quiet AF and weather resistance.
Although I have never used one, I hear great things about the 16-85, and that it is better than the 18-135, so it must be pretty good. The 18-135 is no slouch, I have it but don’t use it that much anymore.
I shoot mostly nature, wildlife, and landscapes. What you shoot and what you want to shoo should have a great influence on the decision on what lenses you buy.
