Re: advice sought - telephoto zoom for sd1

I have the newer 70-200, it is really good., very sharp and better than the old version  But more recently ice either been using the 150-600 (which is rather large) or the 50-100 (probably not as long as you are looking for).

The 120-300 f/2.8 is great but REALLY large, much larger and heavier than anything but the 400-800mm lens.  The 50-500 is also pretty good and kind of large, but I think the 150-600 is better... if it's not to slow the 100-400mm lens mentioned in another post may be a good compromise.
