Hello All,

Currently my setup is:

Sony A350
Sony 18-70mm Kit
Sony 55-200 Kit
Sony 50mm f1.4

Coming Next week:
Manfrotto 488RC4 Quick Release Midi Ball Head
Manfrotto 190XPROB

Now im looking for one new lens. I don't think I would get enough use out of a macro yet, so im looking for a zoom. It will be for building shots, animals, kids, sports etc. I was looking at the Minolta AF 70-210 F4 (beercan) but im not comfortable with second hand and no one seems to have this in brilliant quality.

So my choice so far is the Sony 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G Lens #SAL70300G – //www.digitalcamerawarehouse.com.au/prod5454.htm

Now would the SAL70300G, give me a much better image than just the kit 55-200mm?, Im asking if its good enough quality to replace this and spend the extra money with about the same fstop.

Now my issue is, I have been researching this for a while and have a few options.
Tammron or Sigma 70-200 f2.8
or the
Sony 70-300G

Im not sure on what to get, I would love a 300mm, but am concerned about the fstop, because when im outside I still want fast shots.

Or should I just got for a walk around lens and keep the kit 55-200, something like Carl Zeiss DT16-80mm F3.5-4.5 Vario-Sonnar T*
Thanks heaps
