Thank you very much, you are the best. But thats a bad news :/. I hate this dilemma, 55-300 PLM is great, but pretty expensive in my country and lens are investment :/ and to be fair I am not sure its best time for investment into pentax sadly :( with the recent discount and cashback on fuji xt20 :/. If only pentax would continue or announce mirrorless K mount, but the future is not bright :/.

Hello, these are JPEG straight out of camera, first is handheld with my sigma 17-50 just to be sure its not in the body, then are two with my sigma 17-50 on tripod liveview, timer etc and rest are DAL 55-300. Thank you very much for your time.

No its not the resolution, but I dont know what is problem I am using 1/500 and higher times and if I shoot without tripod I have a LOT of garbage photo, which is problem, when I see once a life scene or scenery. Back at home I find out its blurry like I used time like 1/5 and shaked a hand a lot. I dont know where is problem, if I use tripod there is less these photos, but not absolutely and I cant use tripod everywhere.

Hello,

its been two years since I upgraded from canon 1100 to Pentax K70 for my travel photography and what a ride it was! I started with Sigma 17-50, Pentax nifty fifty and I bought a cheap telephoto DAL 55-300 for 130USD just for trying out telephoto since I never used one before. I love 55-300mm I mostly use it for landscape, architecture and static objects so it doesnt bother me much that its focusing is slow, but I have a lot of bad photos. I am using a long times and it gets better using tripod, but image quality is tying me down, since I often find out back at home at PC.

Question is if I want to upgrade is it worth it in terms of image quality the HD Pentax-DA 55-300mm F4-5.8 ED WR or newer HD Pentax-DA 55-300mm F4.5-6.3 ED PLM WR RE, which is considerably expensive.

Another idea is sell Sigma 17-50 and buy Sigma art 18-35 for pentax and be pentaxian for life as image quality is going to be top APS-C lens performance and Full frame is waste of money for me as hoby photographer or?

I thought about jumping the ship, but those mirrorless dont have the available telephoto lens like pentax does so.

Thank you for your ideas.
