To me the 55-300 felt somewhat cheaply made. Also it is not internally focusing. For me that alone would be the deal breaker, using a polorizer would be a pain. Also the fact that it is yet another filter size bugs me too. The 70-300 uses a 67mm filter same as my 16-85 so no extra filters to buy. To be honest I have not shot with the 55-300 so I can't comment on image quality. My 70-300 was a refurb & bought at a nice price. If you search a bit there are good deals to be found on the 70-300.</p></blockquote><p></p>
