It would really depend on what you want to shoot, lighting conditions etc.
If you provided an idea of what you want to take photos of with it i'm sure people would find it easier to recommend something

sorry your right. im looking to have a lens for motorsport and other longer range activities. daylight settings mostly.

my 17-40 just doesnt give me the reach in these senarios ok the 35-80 gets closer but the Q of the lens isnt all that. (i paid £8 for it) hope thats more useful

however im open to people suggesting what uses a particular lens will give me as i just dont have any exp in the telephoto side of photography

Canon EF70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM can be had for around £370 or cheaper if you shop around.

Canon EF75-300mm f4.0-5.6 III USM (58mm) can be had for under £200

As others have said what will be its final use.

SCM

they sound good - i think ill just save for the 70-400 IS unless i hear other alternatives. however is the Is really worth it to me when i will have my tripod all the time for using this lens?

How about a secondhand much-loved but slightly cracked (only cosmetic) Canon 75 - 300?

*Is thinking about selling and might post a thread in the MM*

So we did, didn't want to hassle you with e-mails though

Edit: Donnie note....there's no non-MM selling going on here as we've been in contact off the forums for a while (my post wasn't an offer of sale, just a tease) - hope that's ok

lol most people post in here to say they are selling on the MM anyway!
