I am in the market for some new lenses for my DSLR. I have been using the Canon 18-200 IS USM kit lens for the last 15 months and want to start building a bit of a lens collection.
I have a nifty fifty on the list and would also like a macro lens too (my kit lens doesn't get quite close enough, it focuses at 1.3ft I think). I mostly do landscape and animal work. I have seen a second hand 100-300mm USM for £120 which I am interested in. Some reviews say it is optically as good as the L series lens.
Is it worth paying extra and going for the Canon L series lenses? I only have a 50D so would it be pretty pointless looking at the L lenses? What about other brands such as Tamron and Sigma?
Thanks
