Hey all,

 

I've being getting into photography quite abit lately and have finally upgraded my bridge camera to a canon 70D with 15-85mm lens but am now looking for some more zoom so i can captured more wildlife and thought maybe the camera guru's might be able to help  - aawwww go on ........... please

Thanks for your thoughts much appreciated - I hadn't considered the f4 70-200L it's constant f factor would be awesome but i just do photography as a hobby so would it be better to save some more pennies then go for the Canon 70-300 L f4/5.6 as more zoom Maybe more use than faster shutter speed ??

Hey HappyLad long time mate

Thanks for the input think I'll save more and maybe get a nice 2nd hand prime with the pennies I have at the mo
