Hi guys,
I'm just getting into photography and enjoy snapping wildlife, at the mo i have only the supplied 18-70 lens with my new sony a100.
Although i'm happy with the results i'd still like to get a bit closer without breaking the bank, so i'm looking on ebay for minolta/sony lenses of about 70-300 mm ...is this the right choice? and what should i be aware when buying 2nd hand equipment?
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated, as i'm in need of a little guidance!!
Many thanks Andy

cheers JimC,
I'll look into that!
Does decreasing the range of the lens improve the quality?
