Sold my FA 80~320 (eBay, $135+$15 shipping) a couple weeks ago. I'm expecting delivery of a DA 55~300 (B&H, $350 w/free shipping) in a couple days. While I'm realistic about sample variations, I like the test numbers I've read along with positive contrast reports. Therefore, am holding off on the DA*60~250 for now.
