someone selling
70-210 f/3.5 - 4.5
100-300 f/4.5 - 5.6
70-210 f/4 (push pull)

Old but good lenses... if not i'll go with the sigma super macro II.

flash i find my 420 okay but i get irritated when i cant manually override it, esp with an un-hacked 300D

This 1 is sigma-made. OK optics FOR THE PRICE aka crappy optics

(hey i shoot mostly with primes... zooms dont satisfy, even most L-zooms)
oh yeah, the canon 55-200 beats this one anyway...

2) EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III
forget it, one of the worst (im not kidding)

3) Any other tele lens to suggest??

if u need a zoom, get the 70-200/4L used. abt 900$ to 1050$ depending on condition dont compromise on any cheaper zoom.

IF you want primes,
-135/2L
-200/2.8L

i would get a prime if i were u.

(what do u want 300mm for anyway?? critters?

shooting sports with a 300D is very hard and if u want to do that, a prime will be better anyway)
