I already had the 55-200 when I bought the 55-250. I only bought it because I wanted a compact super-tele lens and I saw here on the forums how some folks were using it with a 1.4x extender.

For normal use I prefer the 55-200 though because it's a native lens and therefore so much smaller.

That extender is quite pricey where I'm at, I too also thought about getting one, but at nearly $200, it's like buying a new lens. I would prefer to put that money into something like the tamron 100-400mm or sigma 150-600mm.

Or even this ef-s 55-250mm STM

And you're right, who knows 1 year down the road someone might want to sell his kenko 1.4x teleplus hd cheaply so it would be cool to pair it with the 55-250mm STM.
