depends, if Canon look at used Canon 100-400 V1, or used 400mm prime or 70-300 II or maybe a used Tamron 150-600 G1

Yes it's canon, I am going to look for the 100-400 v1 but the 400mm prime and the 300mm prime are out of my budget even second-hand

Try looking at the 400mm f5.6L second hand; it shouldn't be too much different in price to the 100-400mm secondhand.


edit - note to self don't look at 400mm f5.6 prices..... darn tempting
