    Take HPL's advice. He knows what he is talking about. You cannot go wrong buying a quality, used lens.

    You can definitely save money that way. The fewer you see of a particular high quality is a good indicator people keep them...many of the lessor quality are everywhere.

    Good luck - I'd say in any event Illinois Bob's avatar is the best.

    Well we bought a EFS 55-250 mm Canon lens today. I think it will do the trick for what we want. These were taken from the same place on our deck. One at 55 and one at 250. It's gonna be neat.

    OK, now that you have made your choice, one suggestion. When using that lens, set the camera to "AV" and then set the aperture to F:5.6 and leave it there. That will make sure the camera will always have the fastest shutter speed possible under the prevailing light conditions. You need the fast shutter speed to stop action and prevent motion blur.
