Cheap Telephoto Needed

I don't think you could find one of those for $200.

200mm f2.8 L is a good telephoto lens. I love it a lot

The sigma 70-300 APO is simply the best lens for that amount of money, its small at its 70mm setting, its light, has a softcase and reversible hood included, has a front center pinch cap so its easy to put on or remove even with the hood in place. We get a little worse weather here in Ireland than you do in the UK, and it copes fine with our light levels outdoors.

Oh and it works on Film or Full Frame also

Here is a film shot from Monday morning, no processing.

I would also say the Canon 55-250 IS, it is the lens im looking for at the moment.

I have found it for £179, anyone know of anywhere cheaper in the UK?

The Siggy APO is a very nice lens and the Macro shots on it are really nice too!

Staying within your budget, the Sigma 70-300 APO fits the bill. I love my copy of this lens so far. You can find it used for under $200 shipped to your door. Even new it's only $209 at B&H (before tax and shipping).

There is also the Tamron 70-300

i had a Canon 100-300mm USM that fit within your budget before i upgraded to my 100-400. seemed to do the job pretty well for the price i paid for it.
