Hi folks.
I have a 40d and currently own 3 lenses with it.
400mm 5.6
sigma 150 2.8 macro
canon 28-105 f3.5-6.3?(the old model with the word macro on it)
The 400 stays on my camera most of the time for my bird shots, but I want to get a lens that fills part of the gap in my focal length range. I would probably use this lens for larger wildlife, for example on a safari etc.
I want to get something that would deliver high quality images but I'm not sure if I could justify going for a top of the range model. I'd like a compromise between price and performance, but performance is probably the more important factor.
Some things I'm considering:
canon 55-250 - whats the IQ like?
canon 70 - 200 f2.8 or f4 - is it essential to get the IS model?
Sigma 70 - 200 f2.8
canon 100-400 - not sure if my budget will go this far.
canon 70-300? - any good ones out there?
What would people recomend?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your consideration.
