I am interested to see any information (official) which says PLM is for light lenses only. I have read only 'maybe' posts. Thanks

I seem to recall that Ricoh stated as much in an interview, but I am not 100% sure.

In any case they are making a big fuss about the focusing group in the new 55-300 being 93% lighter than the last one. Which makes it pretty unlikely that the PLM technology could achieve similarly fast results with lenses such as the 70-200 or 150-450.
