Cool, definetly will consider both the tamron and the canon. Would it be possible to put the 55-250mm through two adapter to use on an FF? Also, is there any lens that I could use to fill in the 55-70mm range? You're def right about the whole second hand 5d mkii thing - I woudnt upgrade for a while, but it would be nice to be able to use it. IS this the tamron ? http://amzn.to/1eCjpvu
If so then it's definetly a bargain. I've heard on cheap x-300mm lenses the higher focal lenghts get a bit muddy,

Thanks in advance,

No, this is not the lens you want - as far as I know it is a little sub-standard like Canon's 75-300.

This is the good Tamron as listed by Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/Tamron-70-300mm-4-0-5-6-Digital-Cameras/dp/B003YH9DZ4/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1376270161&sr=1-1&keywords=sp+70-300mm+f+4-5.6+di+vc+usd

I don't know why they put the 'AF' in the listing - I believe that is wrong. But you definitely want the one that has VC on it. It's the A005 model. They are $449 with a $100 mail-in rebate

I purchased this lens, and received the rebate check within two weeks. Here are some photos from it I posted:
