quite likely :-)  maybe even same bird, just different common names -

Re: A len bargain

[Paul Stenquist]

The 60-250 is a fixed ap f4 lens and a DA*. It’s the premium long zoom for the 
Pentax APS-C cameras. The DA 55-300, while very good, was meant to be a bargain 
zoom. I don’t now how the two lenses compare in use. But the 60-250 is of 
course faster at full zoom, and I suspect image quality is somewhat better.

The 60-250 is a really decent lens. I'm not much for zooms, but it was 
one that i used fairly regularly when I was shooting APS-C.
