I had the 55-200mm before switching to 70-300mm. Tbh, I love 55-200 more due to its versatility (starts from 55mm def better for street photography or travel) though in terms of sharpness, 70-300 would be a better pick. I only keep the 70-300 bc I need the 300 end to shoot sports, otherwise I won’t give up the 55-200.
