[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 193669, member: 1061"] "Best" and "cheap" can not be used in the same sentence. There's no such thing. While I'm sure the suggestions posted here were in good faith, they're not going to serve you very well. A $150 budget is not going to buy you a decent telephoto lens, unless you happen to get very lucky on eBay. The best advice is: Save your money. Or else what you'll end up with is a lens that you will outgrow within a week. If you aspire to a 70-200mm f/2.8, then wait for it. You're new. Don't think that you have to throw money at your new hobby to get the most out of it, because you'll be very disappointed with a cheap lens. If that $150 is really burning a hole in your pocket, invest in a decent tripod or get Adobe Lightroom. You'll get much more use out of either of those. [/QUOTE]
