The Canon 70-200mm F4 L, is an amazing lens. It's above your budget but not by much (currently on sale for $599). You would have a hard time trying to find another lens this good, for that price.Oh you are 100% correct it is def just a cheap kit lens. I'm saving up for something nicer. Since I got ya here lol what would you reccomened around $400-500 same zoom compacity.
Now, the max aperture is only F4, but it's F4 at 70mm and at 200mm. But more than that, it's a top of the line 'L' lens, and one of the better ones at that.
There are actually 4 versions of 70-200mm lenses in the Canon line up. The F4 as mentioned above, the F4 with IS, the F2.8 and the F2.8 with IS. Of course, having a larger maximum aperture of F2.8 would be an advantage, but those one are bigger, heavier and much more expensive.
I was kind of thinking of going bigger and better. I have $$ saved but really like to watch my savings grow and grow and have become a bit anal about taking $$ out of it lol. I was actually thinking of getting the canon Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM. I found it on amazon for 1,131.
My camera (which I used to build up my credit) is all paid off and my car is 4 months away from being paid off. So I want to take out another small loan (to continue building credit) even tho I have the $$ already in the savings account.
Hmmmmmm which one should I get. I'm still doing good on my body tho. I def don't think I'm ready for the upgrade yet. I wanna invest in glass at this point. I really wish I didn't waste the $ on the nifty 50 and went with the 1.4 Better investment on the long run o well I do still like my nifty 50 but wish I woulda spent more $$. Ya live and ya learn
