Max that I can spend is for Canon 70-200 f4L. I think that I will stay with Canon Lens , my only doubt is should I go for 75-300 with IS if this is very important or I spend my money (hard saved) for Canon 70-200 f4L....

PS> Artforms> That is an excellent photo. I;m do not understand how you make such exellent exposure with such beautiful color... each of your image is apsolutely fantastic.... Did you use a fill in flash for this photo or it was just available light....
Thanks
regards Zak
I looked at the Canon 50-255mm lens with the IS on it and also the 70-300mm lens before I found this deal on the 70-200mm f/4L lens. I got it on ebay for much less than a new one but it looks like new. The other two lenses were cheaper and nearly bought the 50-255mm but it has more plastic parts on it. The 70-200 L series lens has more metal parts.

As for the photo I posted for an example, I did use a ttl flash on manual mode for some fill. It can be set at full 1/1 power down to 1/64th power on the light. Would have to give credit to mother nature and Canon for the colors that I get from my pictures.
