I have had three K5 with the two lens kit.
With the first one, the image IQ was acceptable. On the second one, it was like WOW that's almost prime teritory (50, 100 and 200 mm tested). So much so that, I am keeping that copy and will be returning the new still boxed onethat came with my third K5 when I return K5 number 2 because of the stain issue.
Sorry can't comment on the 55-300

I have the DA 18-55 WR, unpacked, and unused, part of the two lens bundle from my K5.
I don't think I need it as I have the wide end ( sigma 10-20), midrange (DA 50-200) and telephoto (DA*300) range covered.
Just wondering what I would get for it. It won't be on sale until I come back from holiday when I'll know for sure I won't need it.

It's here. The replacement that is. I'm scared to "test it" - I'll just enjoy using it while on holiday and then we'll see.
thumbs up for Amazon so far...

the minimum focusing distance of the 50-200 is 1.1 m, so surely it won't focus closer than that?
EDIT: it works! Moving the camera instead of fiddling with focus!
Thanks guys

Has anyone ever successfully used one?
I bought a 49mm +3 one from the Intro2020 eBay store and been trying it on the 50-200 WR lens, but I cannot get it to focus as all (AF or MF) - went up to f32 to get a wide dof as possible
If I hand hold it in front of the sigma 10-20 it sort of works.
What am I doing wrong?

Well well
Amazon are sending a replacement (should be today) to be with me by the end of the week! I hope that one is perfect!

I am told by an insider, it turns the K5 into a FF and the logo changes to Ricoh
