As some know I'm new to the photography lark and am looking to get a zoom lens.

Just seen this on ebay which seems like a good buy;

IS there something that I'm missing or will it be a good 2nd lens for me?

From what I've read, the ED version of this lens is much better, for ~£50 more. There is also an IS version I believe, but that is double the price.

No experience of any of them, just what I've read.

I have a Sigma 70-300 APO, which I picked up 2nd-hand for ~£100. I am very happy with that, considering its price. New, they are about £160. It also has a 1:2 macro ability, which is quite handy.
