Hello fellow Photozoners,
Glad to be back to the forum after several months of absence.
If I may, I have a question straight away. Last winter my Sigma 400mm/5.6 APO macro got broken, unfortunately. It only worked on my analog EOS 5 and not on my EOS 5D. I miss this focal length quite regularly and want to purchase a new one >400mm lens. But I do not know which I shall buy, a fixed focal or zoom lens. My budget is limited in the region of 750 euro, so a EF 100-400 IS is out of the question.
I would use the lens for birds, boats, surfers, etc. I already own a EF 70-200/4.0 withouth IS, but 200mm is just not enough in most case. And a 2x converter does not do the job for me. Does anybody have any idea which lens would be a good choice for a 5D?
Hope to hear from you.
Best regards,
Reinier

I reckon the new 70-300L is too short ?
