Question what lens to buy

hello all.
I have a Pentax MZ60 with a Sigma 100-300 f4.5 for my bird photography but find that I really need either a bigger lens or a teleconverter. Can anyone recommend what I should get considering that my budget is about £200?
Thanks for any help.

jose,

try secondhand from a reputable photodealer and at least 400mm or more.

jose,

For secondhand their must be a "Jessops" photostore in Norwich who are able to search their nationwide secondhand lists for siutable lenses in all price ranges. Also consider taking a look at "Warehouse express" based in Norwich. They are Mail order but often have heavily discounted bargains and I believe local Norwich people can pick up from their depot and thus not pay postage. Failing that get the latest copy of "Amateur Photographer" to browse the second hand bargains in the many adverts by the reputable photoshops who regularly advertise in the magazine. hope this will give you some leads to follow up.
