Hi, I'm back.

My lad and I have had a good look and some of the above look just the job, particularly the 55-250 and 70-300.

Could I just ask though about thoughts on CANON EF 70-200MM F/4L USM. Price is doable as the F4 would help his lower light aspect - but would just appreciate thoughts on the lens in general and also using an EF lens on an EF-S mount. I've googled that and think I get it but just keen to know for sure it would work ok, even though its an APS-C camera.

It's his birthday next week so will push the button on something shortly.

Thanks again.

As Mike responded. It is a great lens. However, should you want to extend it to 400 mm using the Canon extender, I believe it is not compatible. For that you need the f2.8 model. Mine doesn’t have image stabilization but I always shoot at higher speeds.

Regards,
There is always something to shoot/snap, you just have to know how to do it and have the right gear.
