Hi folks was look to get a 55--200mm f4.0--5.6 lens and seen this one Tamron Macro Zoom is this any good 1/3 of the price of a Canon if any one has used this before could do with feed back please

If there is one rule of thumb in photography that is generally reliable it is that you get what you pay for. If Lens-A is a third the price of Lens-B then it's probably a third as good.

Can't help re the Tamron lens, but the Canon 55-250IS is a belter of a lens for the price - was this the lens you were looking at ?
