I was given the oppurtunity to be my highschool's sports photographer and I need a longer zoom lens. My dad has offered to buy me a new lens, but he wants to get me the cheaper option.
Canon 55-250mm f/4.5-5.6 IS = $280
or
100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM = $280
But I know that you pay what you get for and these are cheap. They get soft as you get zoomed in and they dont have a solid Aperture.
I would prefer to get the 70-200 f/4 L non-IS because I know L's are unbelievable. Great quality, build, but he wont understand that.
Can you guys give me good reasons why he should get it for me. I really would like it, but it might end in me paying a portion.
Thanks
