I had the Tamron 70-300 before. It is a good lens for the money but bad CA so the IQ appearence is not to good at the long end. Also not great in contrast. Go for the pentax 55-300 otherwise you pay for two lenses. First for a cheap one a year later or so for a expensive one.

Thanks again Bjoern! I'll cotinue looking at this lenses and in the meanwhile I can save a bit more. Btw, did you try the Sigma 70-300 DG Macro? It seems a good lens, and also have macro function.
Thanks!
