About to purchase pentax 50--200 lens but noticed that Tamron do a 55 - 200. Jessops do each around the £60 mark. Has any one experience of these lens and which is the best bet? regards Ron.

Hello again Ron,
Regarding your lens, I've checked the 'net on these and these lenses seems quite cheap. The Pentax at £50 is a good price. I've no doubt the Tamron is OK and if you're not going to use it often then fair enough. I have an old Tamron 70-200 Adaptall 2. I've used this with Pentax, Nikon and Minolta mounts with nice results. I would say the Pentax glass is superior, especially as Hoya now own Pentax. My zoom nearest to this is the Sigma DL Macro Super. Stick to Pentax.
