Tele lens

I would know which is the best telelens for landing pictures for a canon 20d or 350d or a Nikon d50 or d70. I mean which is the best between canon 70-300 Is Usm III, the canon 75-300 USM III and the Sigma 70-300 APO, or similar.And which is the corrisponding teles in the Nikon world? Whitout spend more then 800$

Well i got a Canon 350D yesterday and with it i got the Sigma 70-300mm APO DG Macro
Its a very good lens as you can see in the photos i took today in my thread from Birmingham

If you are on a budget, got for this lens, if not, then i would suggest the Canon lens

I use the Canon 350D + Canon 70-300 IS USM which is an improved version of the 75-300 USM III.

The Autofocus is fast and the images are sharp using the IS. The IS comes into it’s own in naff light as it allows sharp images a couple of stops down from the none IS lenses. Sorry can’t speak about the sigma APO version or the Nikon versions as I’ve never used the kit.

will post a sample shot a little later.

See review here… some plane pix are here as well
