Hi,
Since a few weeks I've been kitesurfing and I'm planning to start taking photo's of my friends when they are riding. I have a canon 40D, but no long lens.. I want to buy a long telezoom lens, but am not sure which one to get. On one side I don't want to spend a lot of money on it, because the lens will be on the beach most of the time, so if it breaks, I don't lose a lot of money, on the other side, I'm thinking, a cheap lens will have inferior build quality, and will break much sooner. So maybe it will be better to invest a bit more and have a decent quality lens.
I'm really hoping you guys can give me some new insight!
Lenses I'm considering:
Cheap options:
Sigma 70-300 (maybe APO), Tamron 70-300, Canon 75-300 ( maybe USM version)
More expensive options:
Canon 70-200 L f4.0 second hand with 1.4 extender
any other options?
Thanks,
Fredric
