What do you expect from a lens with bigger focal range at smaller price? Sold as additional kit lens? Don't blame Markus for not testIng cheapo lenses, just to get one or 1.5 stars he has to pull the lens through the same procedure and for what? To confirm it's weaknesses, soft corners, CA, soft at long end, vignetting and distortion on "wide end"? There are more interesting lenses. I do understand him not to waste time for kit lenses. Although some of them perform well, but the 55-300 does hardly count to them.
