I need to buy a new lens before February, I've got a Canon Eos Digital Rebel (yep, the original), and will need to ideally zoom across a high school basketball court and take decent action shots. I don't really want to spend more than $450. Suggestions?
@jessicaelaine for action photography, you would need a long lens 200mm atleast, and shooting the whole court you would need a wide angled lens 18mm, i guess 18mm-200mm is best, not sure about the price for Canon but it'll be cheaper for Sigma or Tamron i reck'n, good luck.
sigma 18-250 best in test of independant zooms in a recent UK articles well 2 actually it has OS also or if you ahve a 18-55 zoom try the sigma 50-200 I have that or 70-300 hope this helps all grat lenses
how about the Tamron 18-270mm. I've had mine for over 2 years now and use it for almost everything. You'll probably need it on a tripod thou. Good luck!!!
@ronphotography I guess maybe I wasn't clear in part of that - I don't need to see the whole court, just be able to see across it. :) But knowing the mm I need is super helpful, thank you.

Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhu... :(
I can't convince myself to buy one... It's expensive...

@yotan18 Doesn't price suck? :(
@spthorne @patsypetersen Thank you for the recommendations! :)
@pocketmouse How would you say the zoom would be across a gym, lengthwise? :)
