There's not a simple answer to this question. It depends on both what you
want to do with it and what other lenses you have. I don't find myself
using either one all that frequently. I prefer the 65-200/4 and the
50-250/5 to the 85-250/5, mostly because of the weight.
Given all the choices, I'd go with a Tamron 60-300. OK, not one of the
choices, but.
Uh oh, I'm sounding like Larry :)
