Yes
Now i've decided on the tamron 17-50 i will need something to compliment it with some extra zoom, any suggestions?
 
How high does your budget go?
Canons 55-250 is meant to be a great lens for the price, I have never owned one myself but it is always one that gets recommended for a first long lens in a low budget.
 
read a lot of good things about the canon and the tamron 70-300 vc would say £400 max
 
If not the 70-200 F4 then go for the tamron SP70-300 VC, its a cracking lens, sharp as a tack and the VC is better than canon's own IS, I was able to hand hold mine down to 1/13th of a second in low light without issue and I have shaky hands!

yes i've read so many good things about this lens and the extra reach would be more useful to me.Its also a very good price.

70-200mm F4L is nice but might lack range a little if you don't want to buy another lens for anything longer. I like mine and it's lovely and sharp but if you're expecting to be able to get wildlife with it then you may need to rethink

I'm thinking of either getting a 150-500 Sigma or the 70-200mm F2.8L mk2 with an extender to get more range
 
I think for my needs 300mm with be enough and i think the tamron is the best bet, its cheaper and seems better built than the 2 canons and from what ive read in other forums and reviews is at least as good if not better. I was looking at 150-500 but its too big and bulky for my needs for the moment at least.
