Hello there
Whilst it must be emphasised that I am still 'cutting my photographic teeth' so to speak, I have recognised the need for a larger zoom lens in my bag. I photograph insects and use a 1:1 50mm Sigma coupled to a 300D and a ring flash to provide me with the odd decent shot. I also photograph everything 'au-natural' rather than bring them home and studio shoot them however, whilst rummaging around rivers and streams etc. I have missed out on a few (potentially) blinding shots of other wildlife due to my lack of zoom lens.
Though my budget is low, I have found a few deals on one or two lens that may help me out. The first is the Sigma APO 70-300mm f/4-5.6 II Tele Lens and the other, a Canon EF 90-300mm USM F/4.5-5.6.
The above info relates to 2 questions really and they are;
(1) What is the better lens for occasional shots?
(2) What is the difference (or should i say) what is the real gain or loss in a 70-300mm lens as apposed to a 90-300mm lens??
Appreciate any advice you can throw my way
Best regards
