Ok i want a new lens for the 350d, i was thinking a tele for wildlife and sports etc. Some at least up to 500 but if below that all the better. I want the best one i can get within this price range. I noticed this one on ******* (can i say that name here?) Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM is it any good i cant really find any good reviews on the web. Anyone got a lens similar to this maybe? Any thought would be good as i only have the camera a few weeks.

You need more than 200mm for wildlife, or a converter - it depends how close you're going to get.

I would consider the Sigma 70-200 2.8 with a 2x converter (becomes F5.6 wide open) or a Sigma 100-300 F4 with a 1.4x converter (becomes F5.6 wide open).

I actually have the 70-200F4, I love it because it's very portable and sharp but it's too short for wildlife and you can only use a 1.4x converter or you'll lose autofocus.

I fully understand that i would need at least 300mm for wild life but the kind i would be shooting the moment will be close enough anyway. I will hopefully be using this more for sports and motorsports for example i go to a lot of rallies and hopefully this will come in useful.

So if i dont like it i can always bring it back :p
