If you learn to work with the 55-300's limitations the IQ is great, a lovely improvement over the 50-200.

There was someone who was looking at the DA70 along with other lenses on these forums. Might be worth dropping a PM as the price is flaming hot!
Paul.

I think I'm more inclined to drop a larger amount of money on the DA*55 so I'll keep an eye out for one.
I might just grab a DA 50 anyway from Amazon and see how I get on with it, it's a relatively small amount of money and it's very easy to just return an item you don't like with Amazon.
I'm going to be photographing my new born nephew soon, and probably his older brother and sister so I'll have a chance to give the M50 a run out (on the new born, if he's asleep ) and see how the Sigma gets on without any real pressure.

The DA50 is an excellent lens with great sharpness and bokeh. It's very much worth the £70 odd that it will cost if you use it enough.
If you'd like a 70mm prime then you can look for a DA70 Ltd for around £230. It's brilliant.
Or get both for £300!

It's a great lens, from my experience it needs lots of light to get the most out of it, and it does hunt a bit when autofocusing, quite loud as well. Since owning a Sigma HSM lens I've noticed it even more, the autofocus on the Sigma really is superb. Saying that I don't own the Sigma lens you're referring to so I can't comment on that one.
