The HD 55-300 WR is one of the most long-awaited lenses in the K-mount arsenal, answering the cries for a weather sealed version of the highly popular zoom. In just the short time it took for the lens to reach the hands of our shooters until the publication of this review, we've already amassed a...

Weather Sealed, Excellent second lens for beginners, particularly with either 18-55 WR or 18-135 WR, Good overall image quality, with excellent image quality and sharpness at F8, Maintains relatively fast F4-4.5 aperture until 210mm, Convenient and practical zoom range, Great value, Quick-Shift...

Screw-driven autofocus not updated to DC motor, Very large focus throw makes it prone to hunting and 'near misses' in AF mode, Corners are extremely soft and lacking in contrast, Highlight bokeh becomes straight-edged very quickly, Point bursts (starbursts) are very unattractive until closed down...

Bottom line: 55mm-100mm -- below average; 100-200mm -- average; 200-300mm - above average Optically this lens is probably a complete copy of the previous version, at least subjectively the pictures look exactly the same and it has the same weaknesses and strengths.
