I have a Canon 40d with the 17-70 IS lens and also the 100mm f2.8 macro ( what a great lens !!). I am now looking for something with a longer reach for pictures of dragonflies and butterflies.
The Canon 100-400 is a to heavy for me and I am not keen on the push pull zoom. I was thinking more of 300mm max length zoom.
The Canon 70-300 IS lenses (DO or not) both only focus to about 1.5 meters which is not that close.
Suggestions would be very welcome about what other lenses I should consider. I Think IS will be important for me. I do not have to stick to Canon by the way.
What do you use for this sort of pictures ?
