It is "lens", not "lense".
I think in your other thread this was discussed fully:
Tamron 70-300mm USD VC. Assuming with "powerful" you mean tele reach?

So then, yeah, the Tamron 70-300mm with USD and VC in its name is your best affordable choice. going past 300mm, and still with good optics, will get very expensive very fast. And very heavy too.

over my budget that lens.....
what about the nikon 55-300 or the 70-300

It can not be that the Tamron 70-300mm USD VC is over your budget, but the Nikon 70-300mm VR is not. They are in the same price range.
Of course, if those two are too expensive for you, go for the 55-300mm from Nikon.

No idea what you mean with (checked ebay), but since I am not aware of english prices I checked on amazon(.co.uk). The Nikon 70-300mm VR costs 419 pounds there, the Tamron 70-300mm VC costs 312 pounds there.

I always thought that teaching language is not the purpose of photozone. There are many non-native speakers of English here and some short comings in the language department are a fact of live here.
Ok, rant over - hopefully friends again
