Keep coming to situations where i would love to have a lens with some reach

i only have

100m L macro f2.8 IS
10-22mm f3.5-f4.5
50mm f1.8

so really no range at all
usually i like to get a half decent lens but the 70-200, 100-400 and 400mm are all a bit much atm

is there anything else worth getting under that price point? or better to hold out
 
Thanks guys I'll be looking at these when I get home

Yes ideally I would like the 100 - 400mm L but it's more than I wanted to part with atm

I guess a few more details would help
Price range upto about 400-500 and camera is 60D

It seems that these lenses don't like falling on this price point

Also think I would want around 300mm at a decent quality. Not like my partners old lens which I heard wasn'tgood up at near the top (it may have been 70-300 from cannon but iI'm not aure)
The hardest thing this lens would have to do would be wildlife, I know I have discussed with some of you that 200mm range just doesn't reach far enough

Edit, I can't remember what hers was tbh
Ah, it was the 75 - 300

Depends what you actually want to do with it. Are you buying this because you need the extra reach or just to make up the numbers?
Click to expand...

The areas that interest me most in photography are
Bugs
Abstract macro
Night both city, creative and celestial
Historical
Nature scenes
Buildings in and out
Wildlife, particularly birds

Nothing really portrait

So I wanted to spend a good amount on
Macro
Wide angle
Tele lens

With not much on
Portrait

Hence the 100L, 10-22mm, and cheap 50mm
Thr one I'm missing that I want is 400mm range (also tempted by 400mm prime, but might be too restricted)

So it's not a filler, it's in my top 3 area

Birds
Macro
Night
 
Yeah it is too short 200. It's not the easiest of choices (and unfortunately too much to be an Xmas present)
 
eventually i would probably like to end up with the 400mm and a zoom in between 100-300 to fill the gap

i am thinking 300mm f4 L with a TC too maybe to start,
