| And owned an 300D, and needed a, say, 75/100 to 300, what would you recommend? Read my bio, not a newbie to photography. Just that the new len's out now are way below standards these days. I dont have time or money to keep buying len's to find out which one is good. |

Here, I'll nudge you along. How about this? The specs look good, how is the the real world image?
Canon 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM EF Lens

If you have that much money you may as well add the "IS" (Image Stabilization) to that Canon lense :)
I misread the title!
When I saw the 250.00... I thought it read 250,00..
Sorry bot that :) I guess I was just tired.

This lens is rated below average at photozone. I personally would save my pennies and purchase a higher quality more expensive lens or rent one if I really needed to use one soon. Renting might not be such a bad idea in general. You can try a number of different lenses and find the right one for you. Places like Calumet allow you to rent and then if you decide to buy a lens, in a specified period of time, give you a discount on the purchase. Something to at least keep in mind.

| Hey Techno, how is this lens rated below average? It's 4th total overall in the Canon lenses and the three better ones cost many times more. I understand about hq glass and fast lenses but dont have that much at this time to spend. I'll eventually get a Canon 70-200 2.8 but thats 2500.00 down the road for now. hahahaha |

| I'd save up another $250 or so and get the Canon 70-200/f4L. It is an incredible lens for the money. A lens that you will be able to continue to use and be very happy with for many years to come. It is worth the money just for the constant f/4 aperture over the entire zoom range. |

Another vote for this great lens. Also, it works well with the canon 1.4x teleconverter too.. |
