Re: Telephoto/Zoom lens for Canon T3i

1) Canon 55-250mm STM lens, used, mint condition, about $225 (USD)

2) Tamron 150-600mm G2 lens, new, about $1150 (USD).

There are other choices, but those are the two lenses I own and use (except that I have the G1 variety instead of the G2).  I started with the Canon 55-250mm lens and then upgraded to the Tamron telephoto lens for most of my wildlife photography.  It was well worth the money to save up for more focal length.  That's why I mention the second choice.  It depends on what breaks the bank; it was affordable for me since I saved up for it in about a two year period or so.  The Tamron telephoto lens mentioned is about the same price as a new Canon 90D DSLR camera...yes expensive...but within budget.
