I can echo your thoughts, Bill, though I haven't used all of those you list.
Moose might well have beaten me to mention the 35-80/2.8-3.8 which is
usually a real bargain nowadays.  The 500mm mirror is worth looking for too.

I don't know about bargains, however many of us use Tamron SP series
lenses. 
 Those currently residing in my stable include: 17mm f3.5, 24-48mm,  90mm 
f2.5, 70-150 soft focus, 180mm f2.5, 80-200mm f2.8, 300mm f2.8 &  400mm f4.
I've had several others including the 60-300 which is a  good one.  Bill

Has  anyone else tried out the old Tamrons?  I read an earlier post   
that the 90mm / 2.5 Macro is a bit legendary (and seems to command   
pretty good prices as a result).  Are there any other decent  quality
bargains out  there?
