I am having a clearout of lenses that I don't use so can't really justify keeping them anymore.

This lens was purchased in 2014. I already have the Pentax 17-70mm f/4 zoom but thought that the extra f stop would come in handy. Only used once so is in mint as new condition.

Comes with box, end caps, lens hood and all the original paperwork.

I am looking for £250 delivered.

This lens was purchased from SRS Microsystems in 2010. It seemed like a good idea at the time but I have never used it apart from checking that the focus was working properly (it does) and taking a few test shots. So it is in mint as new condition.

Comes with box, case, end caps, lens hood and all the original paperwork.

I am looking for £375 delivered.

I upgraded from the 50-200 to 55-300. Mine is a DAL version (which you can now get very cheap from various suppliers) and I recently bought a compatible lens hood for £9 on eBay. As John says the 55-300 has better image quality and I have found the extra reach very useful for flowers, butterflys, birds, etc.
If you are interested have a look at some of my pictures taken with this lens:

The shake reduction feature works very well with this lens - I have managed to get sharp pictures at 1/125 sec at 300mm. It is very light so is always in my bag and I use it a lot more than the old lens.
So I would therefore definitely recommend upgrading.
