Default 75-300: Canon EF-S III USM or Tamron LD Macro?


Hello!

Please help me making a choice:

What should I buy for my EOS 300D?

A) Canon EF-S 75-300 III USM

or

2) Tamron AF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 LD Macro Autofocus

?

Pro/Cons?


Moreover, I'd like to add either an EF-12 or an EF-25,
what difference is there between the two? Maybe they are
discountinued, since I cannot find their specifications.


Thanks a lot!!
Andrea

It was also posted to rec.photo.misc, but has no replies. I guess there's
no harm in covering all of one's bases! ;-)

What is it with the questions about Tamron lenses these days? I made the mistake
of letting myself get talked into a couple of Tamron lenses. To make a long
story short they are the biggest pieces of junk lenses I ever made the mistake
of buying.

Couldn't comment on a Tamron Zoom, but I have the 90mm Macro amd it is
wonderful. Mind you ther aren't any non-Canon zooms that I have been
remotely tempted to buy.
