Thanks for all the info!

So would a "kit" DAL 55-300mm lens be better than a DA 50-200mm WR if the price is negligible? I can probably get the 50-200mm for around $50-60 or the 55-300mm for $100-120? Both used of course!

Not sure the price is worth the difference for length and a kit lense? Trade WR for length and cost etc.?

For reference I am using the lenses for indoor sports photography. Daughter's BB and VB games right now and then my own creative license later! :)

I am researching into buying a zoom lens for my new K-50. I have the kit lens of 18-55mm, but want to add length and am on a budget. Am looking at both 50-200mm and 55-300mm lens, but am finding different versions.

I've found two for the 55-300mm:

1) Pentax DA 55-300 f4-5.8 (I believe this is the metal mount?)
2) Pentax DA-L 55-300 f4-5.8 (And this to be the plastic mount?)

Are there any other versions that I am missing? Read something about an HD version as well?

Also... is the added expense (cost) worth the extra 100mm over the 50-200mm lens?

Thank you in advance for your consideration!

So it sounds like I should go for the 55-300mm if I can find it at a reasonable price?
I did find a 50-200mm on Ebay, new: Listing below. Is this good value?

Just wondering if the added length the 300 would provide is worth the extra money?

What condition is this lens? Does it come with lens caps and/or hood? I am just starting out and need a good, cheap zoom.

Yes, I am looking for a zoom lens. I already own my kit lens 18-55mm. Am looking for something "longer" like a 50-200mm or better.

Has anyone ever used this lens and/or attachment before?

X-treme 4.7x Hi Def Telephoto Lens for Pentax K-50

Found it on ebay and not sure it's worth the purchase? Is it an inexpensive way to extend my kit lens (18-55mm) on my K-50 camera or a waste of money?

Any input at all would be greatly appreciated!
