Re: I think you're onto something

This is the best comparison I could find: link

I'm really confused... I remember the tones, the exposue, details and bokeh of the 75-300 iii, and it's just like that. It seems like the lens is producing some kind of CPL effect without any filter physically put on? Notice how the subject is nicely exposed, but the background is darkish. DO IS similarly exposed on subject, but background is much brighter. Just like with the 55-250. If only I knew the terminology, or the reason why this is happening, then maybe I could find a lens with similar bokeh as well as I wouldn't have to settle using a 75-300 lens between 75-150 due to the unaccaptable IQ past that FL. If all else fails, then I'll carry both 75-300 and 55-250 with myself and be a happy camper.
