can anyone recommend a xx/300mm lense?
can anyone recommend a 70/200 or a 70/300 lense that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? It has to fit a canon 400d/rebel xti

If you don't want to spend L lenses money, go for the 70-300 F4.5/5.6 IS. I used it for more than a year and it's a brillant lense
|
^I was looking at a 200mm lense, wich has much better light
Amazon.com: Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG APO HSM Large Aperture Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras: Electronics
any thoughts? |
If you dont want the canon version that is the next best choice. The no arm and a leg part of your requirements was misleading though. The 70-200 2.8 is one of my favorite lenses. It depends what u want in a lense though. Length or speed.
|
I'd still go for a Canon lense instead of Sigma, but I'm just paranoid probably.
|
Sigma quality is quite good now and when it costs half as much its a very good choice. As long as you compare equal levels of glass.

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM

the low dollar exhange rate makes it perfect to get it from the US for us norwegians. ver half the price of what you have to pay in norway. I found mine on ebay, crossing my fingers that it will arrive before the 10th so I can bring it to the NS |

Good choice! You'll never regret to have invested such money in it!
|
^they said they would mark the parcel as a gift, so i probably won't have to pay the 25% import tax 8)
