First outing (in between the rain) for my new DA55-300. First impressions are good to very good, feels very well build (better then the DA50-200), the zoom action is very good, just the right balance between smooth and stiff (no barrel creep), balances nicely on the K10D with grip, I'll let you decide on the image quality, but I'm happy.

Now I have to decide if I'll ever use tthe DA50-200 again :

All shots were hand held

The first 3 are nicely done. Makes me wonder (again) to replace my faj 75-300 with this one.....

Nice set overall.
