Good afternoon. I've recently inherited a Canon eos100d with 18-55 kit lens, and have really enjoyed using it. I've decided to sell my bridge camera to fund the purchase of a secondhand zoom lens.
I'm thinking of something like a 70-300, which I understand would equate to 480mm with the Canon's crop factor. I like to photograph birds, but am realistic that this wouldn't get me photographing songbirds at 50 yards. Attached are a couple of pictures taken with the bridge camera, to give an idea of what I mean.
So, what I'm really asking is which zoom lens I should consider around the £80 - £100 mark? Secondhand obviously, and I'm not expecting amazing quality at that price - I understand softness at the longest focal length is to be expected, etc. But then the bridge camera also has that issue. I'd also like the lens to autofocus, like the kit lens does.
All help and suggestions gratefully received.
