Hello all,
I'm a newbie at photography and have a Nikon N55 SLR camera. I'm planning to buy a Zoom lens for the same and am confused on which to buy. Can you please help me on deciding which to buy?
Following are the choices:
1. Nikon - 70-300mm f/4-5.6D ED Lens
http://www.ritzcamera.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&productId=30365&bct=t1004%3Bc1022%3Bc915144
2. Nikon - 70-300mm F4-5.6 'G' Autofocus Zoom Lens
http://www.ritzcamera.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&productId=9570126&bct=t1004%3Bc1022%3Bc915144
3. Tamron Autofocus 70-300mm f/4-5.6 LD 1:2 Macro Lens for Nikon DSLR Cameras

(Will this work with a regular SLR camera, even though it says for DSLR cameras)
4. Tamron - 70-300 AF Zoom Lens w/ 1:2 Macro f/Nikon

Not sure what the difference between 3 & 4 is, but 2, 3 & 4 are priced similarly, whereas 1 is a bit pricey. Considering that I'm just a novice and would rather buy a cheaper lens, can you please rate the above choices in the order of preference and also state some reasons for doing so?
Any help is much appreciated.
