Too bad the picture was not sharp. Maybe the Stomper just shot with a compact cam.
Looks like her place is too far from the beach LOL
I drop in to my fav shop in AMK and the lady with long hair quoted me $410 if I pay by cash. Is the price reasonable? ;p

Someone made a comparison with 28-300mm, 18-200mm, 70-300mm and 55-300mm.
Well its for you to decide ultimately.
But my advice would be if you are going for FX in the future, dont get the 55-300mm
Wow thanks for the source, at 300mm, to my eyes, 55-300mm is the sharpest among all. and has the best CA control (can also due to inconsistent camera CA setting). Impressive :thumbsup:
I think next thing to consider among this 2 lenses is the bokeh. Build wise 70-300 is definitely better.
Pardon me. When you say the 55-300mm lacks IF, does it mean the lens rotates when focusing, thus making it more troublesome to use CPL filters on it?
Currently I'm looking at the 55-300mm as a lens to take with me to the zoo. I'm also hoping for a comparison between the 55-300 and 70-300 on a DX body. A notable number of user reviews have criticized the 70-300 to be soft beyond the 200mm focal length. I wonder if the 55-300 will encounter similar problems, although judging by your sample images such concerns appear to be unfounded.
Correct, it will rotate when focusing. maybe tt's one reason y its cheap. But i did try on with CPL i think it cn be make do with, just that u nd to adjust the cpl each thing ur focus change. If u dont like the trouble, another option is to PS instead of CPL filter :bsmilie:
Going to the zoo too... this coming monday hope it dont rain:angel:
I see. It's a small compromise, I suppose. For the price and the build, this is basically a kit lens that happens to be quite sharp, so there can't be too many complaints if one is to be realistic.
So you'll be shooting with the 55-300mm at the zoo? Would love to see your images with that lens in a real-world test

yup haven been to the zoo for 10yrs i guess ahaha :bsmilie: and this would be my 1st time shooting animals hope it goes well n get some decent shots. Oh n also hope my fiancee has the patient to wait for my shots :sweat:
I find myself in the same position as you. I can't remember the last time I visited the zoo. By the way, I recall someone mentioning that the amphitheater was under renovation recently. I'm not sure if they're done with that, as the zoo's website makes no mention of it. It would be great if you can let us know whether service is back to normal there after you come back
I think if you alternate between shooting the animals and your fiancee her patience should last a long time. That's what I do when I go out shooting with my girlfriend too. Unless your fiancee is the camera-shy type, then you will have to seek other solutions :bsmilie:
