Lens advice.

[keef32]

Hi.

I'm looking for some advice on getting a new lens, I've started shooting a Sunday league team as well as shooting wildlife.

I'm currently using a cheap and cheerful Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG Macro with my Canon 1200D, which has been great so far but after shooting the football this weekend I've realised I need something longer.

I'm on a budget at the minute with saving for a Thailand trip but just want to know what people would suggest for under £500 (the lower the better )

A used sigma 150-500?

In the winter months, you might need something faster?

Not over 300mm unless you have big pockets for a prime?
