Sigma 70-300mm APO Macro is always a good bet if you want cheap. It would complement your 17-70 nicely.

Sigma 70-300 APO DG if you want a cheap telephoto - £100.
Canon 70-200 f/4 if you can afford it - £360.

I personally like sigma lenses but cheap isnt always good so would like some advice on quality that they produce as not looking to keep changing lenses as the cost involved can soon mount up.
Thank you for your comments so far.
If you can justify the expense the Sigma 70-200 2.8 EX is a wonderful lens:thumbs: It would also fit in well with your new 17-70;)
Your not having mine though:lol:

i'd second that, doesn't have to be the latest HSM one either, I ve had both and to be honest the previous one was every bit as good as the HSM one

Would the 200 give enough reach though to get your images viewable compared to the 300

What about the Sigma 100-300mm f/4, or if you're feeling flush, the 120-300mm f/2.8? Or even a 300mm prime?
