Which lens advised

"inadequate" at photographing animals in what way? - length, aperture (f-stop), autofocus speed, quality of image (sharpness/colours), erm...etc etc... there's lots of options out there, just need to narrow-down where you want to improve...
Still shooting in the dark (literally and metaphorically)...

Sorry about that,
Definitely focal length, hence the stay out of reach remark.

SMC Pentax-DA 55-300mm - fantastic value and quality.
Best regards, John

Totally agree with John - I take mine everywhere. Good value, light and easy to use. (If you wanted even more reach I don't know whether it would work well with a TC - probably loose too much light?)
But a very worthwhile lense.

Just bought this lens Tamron 70-300mm F4-5.6 Zoom Lens Tamron for £85.=
The Pentax 55-300 went for £190.= yesterday, which was a bit further than I wanted to dig.

I blame the pesky animals, who probably spotted what kind of lens I had and decided to stay out of reach
What lens would you wizards advise as a all purpose lens??
