Apart from the focal length variance, just what exactly is the difference between these two lenses?
I've carried out several searches and it seems that some of the 55-300 have plastic mounts, whilst all the 70-300 have metal mounts. It also seems that there is little difference between the two in general usage.
The 55-300 is however, considerably cheaper. Does anyone know why?
Are there any other differences?
I need to sell my 55-200 and get one of the above lenses and don't want to go cheaper and wish I hadn't!
Thanks
