For me the 55-300 is a hard decision. I loved how compact the 50-200 (which I think you have) is, but since I had the 50-135, the former had to go. I have the 80-320, but there's a gap between my everyday 16-45, thus the need/want/useability(?sp) of the 55-300.
It was a rental and has now gone back. If the price were right, maybe I'd buy one but I'm caught between using the 50-135 (weighty but great lens) and the 55-300 - I don't want to choose! My style of shooting I guess is two lenses - the 16-45 and something longer. The longer lens is still to be determined. I used the 55-300 at the National Zoo and am still reviewing photos, so will post something later.
