My friend needs a telephoto lens.
95% of its use is for taking horse show photos. Im presuming 300mm on the crop sensor would be plenty adequate and possibly even a 200mm.
Im not familiar with Canon at all so I thought Id ask people who know. Any tips of a budget (sub $400, used or new) lens that will deliver reasonable IQ and sharpness? Not expecting a prime at this price point obviously
You can get a used 70-200 f/4L for between 4 and 500 which is little above your friend's budget but better than anything that you can find in the budget range. For a little bit more you could get the 200mm f/2.8 L. You gain on aperture but lose a little flexibility vs the zoom.
