planning to fund for new lens soon.
Currently eye-ing on either
1. Sony 55-200 (2 versions though)
2. Tamron 70-300

Which one is recommended? Both almost same price range.

Lacus, get the 55-200 ver.II (aka SAM version)

aside from compability with FF dslr, any other main difference from the v1? And Tamron not recommended? (although further in terms of zoom)
