Telephoto lens for D300s?

[phodru]

I'm looking to buy a telephoto lens for my Nikon D300s. My budget is £300. What would be the best lens in this price range for me to buy?

Cheers

At that amount you are going to be looking at a 70-300 or a 2nd hand sigma 70-200f2.8 non HSM if you are very lucky...

If you're really lucky you might find a Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 for somewhere near that figure, failing that the Nikon 70-300mm VR falls into that price bracket secondhand

you'd get more for your money buying used, £300 doesn't buy you much new these days unfortunately

Thanks for the replies, chaps.
By the sounds of it the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 would be the one to get.

I'd have a look on here for a second hand Nikon 70-300VR. They go for around the 300 quid mark and they are a pretty damned fine bit of kit - you'll not get much better for less than a grand.

Thanks for that.
