The majority of my track photo's are normally at 10x optical (I rarely use the digitial zoom). But I could do with just a little more then 10x.

Do you know what it is 10x of. i.e 10x 20mm therefore equivelent to 200mm ????
It is worth a try to see what they can do for you. A Kit lens will be obviously better suited to your camera than a third party lens. So negotiating a lens that suits you and your needs / wants has to be worth a try.

The focal lens should be on your current cameras lens somewhere and then as you say, times that by 10.
