Thanks for your comments and advice! This was enough to convince me and I took a quick decision to buy one. I found a 6 month old one at a very reasonable price here in Finland and took it.

I look forward to testing it.

I have an FA 100-300 and I am considering replacing it with a DA 55-300. I am planning to use it for some sports fotography (youth football) and as a travel zoom. For low light and when a long zoom is not needed I have a DA 50-135.

I would appreciate your opinion, is there a significant difference between the 2 lenses and would you recommend the "upgrade" or should I invest my money elsewhere?

Thanks,
Giorgio

I have read a lot about lenses needing focus adjustment, so I am wondering whether I should adjust focus with my K20D. Is there an easy way to determine whether a lens is front/back focusing? Is there a database of adjustments needed with Pentax lenses or are individual cameras different?
Thanks for any advice you can give me!

Hello Giofi

Mostly I'm using the 50-300 mm DAL. When the light really drops I have the 50-135.

Thanks Geoff,

I have been using the 50-135 and the FA 100-300 (Powerzoom). I have been thinking whether the 50-300 would be an improvement over the 100-300 as it has so good reviews
