Fancy a new Canon telephoto lens - any recommendations?
bodger00:
I am looking at the below lenses following your recommendations:
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Lens (390g) - Approx £150
Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens (630g) - Approx £350
Other than the obvious focal length/weight and price differences what else would I be getting for the extra £200?
rich83:
Extra 50mm focal length and i think that the 70-300 is better glass that the 55-250!
chungster:
i use the 70-300 on my nikon for all the motorsport photography i do. love it and great VFM.
Still want a new lens next year tho!

I am saving for the 70-200 f/4.0 L IS USM. Well i say saving, but have got nowhere yet. :sad1:

TC,
I wouldn't worry too much about the IS, I have the non IS version and love it.
