Which is the BEST telephoto zoom for canon?
I need something on the cheaper side, but still good for taking pictures at high school baseball games (zooms far but is still VERY clear). It would be a plus if this could be a versatile lens that I could use for a lot. Here are my choices:
1. Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
2. Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
3. Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras
4. Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Image Stabilizer Telephoto Zoom Lens – Grey Market non US Product
I would probably go with number 3. If you have looked enough to find these four lenses, you have probably seen there are w lot of other, more expensive lenses, too.
There are not many people that buy a $1,600 lens as their first telephoto. Actually, I suspect that most people that buy entry level DSLRs don’t even bother buying a second lens. The Canon 70-200 F4 is probably one of the better bang-for-the-buck lenses, and might be the first L lens you want to invest in (but 200mm is a little short for HS baseball).
There are definitely drawbacks to these lenses, but if you want to start now, and not wait until next year, I don’t see any issue buying one of these now and if you really like sports photography, buy something better in a year. You lose some money selling these used on eBay, but really not that much.
For HS baseball, the lens at 300mm will probably give you a full length image of the batter from around first base. That means most of the infield is within your range. Outfield, not so much. As mentioned, you’ll learn to appreciate sunny days because these lenses will work their best at F8 or F11. If your camera has reasonable ISO performance it will help a lot.
