I understand your frustrations - they were identical to mine until buying the 55-300mm PLM WR telephoto late last year.
I thoroughly recommend this lens; I’m sure you’d be happy with one if it produces the kind of results that mine produces (see my comments on this forum a few weeks ago).

As promised/threatened earlier, here are three pix taken with the PLM version of the 55-300mm lens mated to my Pentax K3-II.
For the money, I don't think any prospective purchaser can go far wrong with such a combination.
The other lens I referred to in my first posting is the DA 16-85mm, not as stated. I somehow managed to increase its wide-angle capabilities somewhat!
Cheers,
Steve.

Good afternoon all from the East Riding of Yorkshire.
This is my first post(ing) on the Pentax Forum; the question posed about the sharpness, or otherwise, of the 55-300mm lens seems an appropriate one for a “virgin” PF member to add his comments.
My lens is of the PLM variety and, without a shadow of doubt, it's the best telephone/zoom lens that I’ve ever bought.
A few pictures certainly tell a few thousand words, to misquote the famous saying, and, when I’ve completed a few jobs around the house and garden, I’ll (try to) upload the relevant files later today to demonstrate just how good the HD DA 4.5-5.6 55-300mm PLM is...especially for a typical UK retail price of around £300.
I use this and my other zoom, a 15-85mm lens, for both amateur and semi-professional purposes. There have been no complaints as yet!
Kind regards,
Steve.
