The 60-250. You can also modify it to cover FF perfectly. Seems like a
no brainer to me. The 60-250 crushes the 55-300.
Well, that answers my previous post on the subject.
A word to the wise about that lens. It is an SDM, my copy failed twice.
I don't know if it was one of the ones with a bad reputation or not.
Optically, it is a superb lens, though it is big for an f/4 zoom.

Having read this thread with interest, I would say the 60-250 is your best
bet but it is not cheap. You could add a 1.4x too! Paul had great success
with this combination. I have an FA 100-300 which I used before I acquired
an HD 55-300. Despite the glowing reviews for the 55-300, I have found it no
better than the under-rated 100-300 which can be had for a song.

Subject: Looking for an ready to carry long ff lens
Going to full frame, I no longer have a lens for the k1 to fill the niche of
my 18-250, being reasonably long, if not particularly fast, but will still
fit in my camera bag and not weigh a ton.
The da 55-300, despite nominally being an aps lens seems to do ok on ff. Is
there anything even better, preferably not too expensive?
