Just to clarify, I completely agree with you regarding the Limited lenses and I have no intention or desire to carry any monster like the new 50mm all day long, however good it is reported to be. However, they cover a fairly close range, so if the reach of a 300mm is required, it is going to be much bigger and heavier than the Limiteds. in the post above, I was commenting about the PLM version of the 55-300, which is relatively compact, and in which the focus motor adds little to the mass compared with other available 300mm lenses and yet adds greatly to the usability and the potential for successful shots.

The older I get, the more I am pleased to rely on autofocus, and the PLM 55-300 seems to be both almost instant and more accurate compared with the earlier versions. This lens is not heavier than the previous models and it is more compact for carrying around and packing in the bag. I'm hoping that the PLM will prove to be of comparable reliability as the DC motor of the 18-135.

I agree! And with its sort of rim lighting putting most of it into shadow, I don't think it detracts from the photo.

I love the shot of the overpass - great angle, perspective depth, colours and details, and even some light trails as a bonus feature. Well done!

Not having done much macro I don't know if it would affect how you use your reversed lens, but the 18-50 kit lens' "manual" focus ring needs the electronic connections.
