If your copy produce dreamy look, you need service. Had one like that. Sold it and replaced. That is the problem of 2nd hand market in general. Only few guys do sell good lenses. Because these are keepers So the chance of buying lemon is quite high.

Concerning sealing... yes HD DA55-300PLM WR is "sealed", but it extends and if you zoom few times with wet barrel, guess what happens

Definitely not lens comparable with single barrel IF/IZ lens. Unfortunately Penstax only has few longer lenses built like that. DA*50-135/2.8, DA*200/2.8, DA*300/4 etc
