No Opinions? SMC Pentax-DA L 50-200mm F4-5.6 ED WR

If you need WR, I'd go with this one. PENTAX HIGH DEFINITION DA 55-300MM F4-5.8 ED WR LENS 22270

If you don't need WR the DA L is a great lens. Quick shift is a nice to have item in my opinion.

So here's the differences between the three versions:
HD DA: Has WR, has better coatings than DA and DA L, has quick shift, metal mount, lens hood included.
DA: Has quick shift, metal mount, lens hood included.
DA L: No quick shift, plastic mount, no lens hood.

All three have the same optical formula, except for coatings. All three should perform very similarly with the exception of slightly better flare resistance on the HD DA version.

Quick shift lets you change the focus after you have autofocused with no damage to the autofocus mechanism. Don't do that with a non-quick shift lens! It's useful for when the autofocus misses.

I have both DA L versions (not WR), and I can say the 55-300 is better by a lot than the 50-200. If you can wait until you can afford it, the HD DA 55-300 version looks to be the best value of all.
