I'm looking for some advice as I will be going on a photography trip in May and it might present the oppertuntity to do some widlife shooting, so I was looking at possibly upgrading my old canon 70-300mm f4-5.6 (not happy with sharpness, CA, non IS and would like something better)
I was originally just looking at getting a Canon 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS but I'm kinda tempted to have a look and see if I could pop for a second hand widlife lens.
That leaves me with a bit of a dilemma as there are a few options in this category. I could go for a 70-200 f4L and a 2x televonverter and just handle the manual focus, opt for the more expensive option of a 70-200mm f2.8 and 2x TC which would also give me a bit of sports coverage, look at the sigma 150-500mm or possibly the canon 100-400mm L but that would then leave me with a gap between 70-150mm with the sigma or 70-100 with the canon.
Confused.....
