Mifsuds do actually have the one that Oldboy posted earlier - the f2.8 one that Ken Rockwell recommended

Marcus

No. It's not a good lens, especially in the 200-300 which your 55-200 doesn't cover. Youd probably get just as good a result from cropping shots taken with your 55-200. It's way overpriced - you can get this NEW for £85, which may tell you that Nikon made too many and people are (still) trying to get rid of them.

Marcus, I'm losing track of things. You say you can't afford the D5100 or D7000, yet you're looking at stuff like this to throw £100 at. Save your money. Look for good glass cheap, not cheap glass.
