Hi All,
Im looking at buying my first zoom lens.
I dont have a big budget atm, and require a zoom lens for wildlife on an upcoming holiday - mainly moose, lynx, etc etc
I think a 400mm would be better, but I just cant afford it.
I've researched some of the 300mm and with the price, am I right to say that the Sigma 70-300mm DG OS (Latest 70-300mm) is prob a good starting point??
Has anyone got one?? what do the photo's crop like? Will I be able to crop, and get a better "zoom" on the picture, as if I was using a 400mm?? (sorry for prob incorrect terms)
And I have also read that on the APS-C camera's - which I think my 1000D is? that lens tends to have more zoom??? (I dont know how that works)
Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks
