Re: Zoom lens recommendation for Canon Rebel T2i

One thing I should mention is that the Canon 55-250mm lens is very lightweight and easy to handle.  I also use a Tamron 150-600mm lens.  At yesterday's air show I took pictures with both lenses; the smaller lens (although less powerful in terms of focal length) was so much easier to compose images of fast moving airplanes.

When I have taken pictures at soccer games, I take the easy route.   I wait for the players to come to me, rather than chase them all over the field.  Staying by the goal is also a good place to be.  For my style of picture-taking I'll keep the focal length short and stop down the lens, so all the players are in focus.  We can capture some very intense expressions when they come close to us.
