Unfortunately third party lens brand names are all about marketing and give
little indication of manufacturer, quality or performance. For example, I
have two single-touch Hanimex zoom lenses that go to 200mm but are quite
different from each other in most respects - even their zoom rings operate
in opposite directions.
You could look at these for some idea of individual lenses that could be
worth buying, or avoiding:
