Given the choice which would you buy as a gift for a complete beginner to go with an A200.
Tamron 55-200mm f4.0-5.6 Di II LD Macro £59
Tamron 70-300mm f4.0-5.6 Di LD Macro £115
Sigma 55-200mm f4.0-5.6 DC £95
Sigma 70-300mm f4.0-5.6 DG Macro £95

The A200 comes with an 18-70, I will buy zoom to go with it on your recommendations.
Thanks
 
Personally i'd go for the Sigma 70-300mm, good little lens and it means that they will have 18-300mm covered, giving them an good range to develop the style they want before deciding their preferred subject matter!
 
Remember there are 2 Sigma 70-300's, an APO version and a non APO. The APO will cost about £140-150 and is probably a much better lens.

Have you had a look at dyxum.com ? It lists most of the Sony fit lens and they are scored by users. I personally don't go for anything with a score less than 4.00

From your list

Tam 55-200 score 4.39 and only £59
Tam 70-300 score 4.09
Sig 55-200 score 4.10
Sig 70-300 score 3.68
