The standard lens hood works fine, with no vignetting. Although marked for 50mm lenses, the field of view of the 35mm on digital is about the same.
Second hand off eBay will be better than the £60 price tag!
Amazon have also got the 55=300 for £135.32.
Cheers

I am thinking of buying the above lens to use as a standard, as any body any information as to how it performs against the kit 18/50mm original not the second genaration kit.
Thanks

LCE have a used dal version for 150
Having read a lot of reviews, they all say good lens but slow focus.
i will be using it for motorcycle racing so would need to use in manual mode so might look for older tele lens as i have never used a zoom.
I have used a Minolta TLR ON THE i-o-m very interesting camera to pan.
Thanks All

What about the DAL version of the 55-300mm? It's quite a bit cheaper.

Common confusion exists, but here goes: Images on the computer and in Photoshop are measured in ppi (pixels per inch) and this should be 72ppi for screen and web and 300ppi for prints, unless your commercial printer requires a different resolution.
Printers lay down dots of ink in dpi (dots per inch) and a printer resolution might well be 1400dpi or 2880dpi or similar large amounts.
If you actually made an image in Photoshop at 2400ppi it would be an immense file and would take ages to load, clog up the memory and might not seem to load at all. If anyone every finds a file oddly large, then check you are sizing in ppi and not ppcm (pixels per inch not pixels per cm!) as it makes a bit of a difference.
