[sarallyn]

it's not a very fast lens, but I think it would work. i'm just looking for a cheap telephoto lens... I think i'll buy it tonight.

70-210mm f/4.5

hmm hunt out a review and see what the macro ratio is - I suspect its telephoto "close focusing" - ie 1:2 - but you never know..
Also I like this sell - much better

I think I'd look for a Canon brand lens, I've never heard of that one.

lol, no kidding. the last auction only had 30 or so minutes left, so I was in a rush to find out info.



I found reviews -- looks good to me.

if it looks good and if you managed to find a more recent review (to check compatability and performance for you current camera) and you have the cash then give it a go -

KEH is probably the best place in the country to buy used. You can have a genuine Canon lens for about the same price as the junk you were looking at. Their rating system is very strict and favorable to the buyer (i.e. you).

cool, checking them out right now.
I ended up not buying the lens last night, anyway. I guess I will tonight.
thanks for the link
