[QUOTE="hark, post: 724772, member: 13196"] As Bikerbrent mentioned, the super zooms by Sigma, Tamron, and Nikon are the most popular for long lenses. Since I'm in the USA, I'm not sure how much those pre-owned lenses cost. Another option would be a pre-owned Nikon 300mm f/4 AF-S. It lacks VR but is extremely sharp.
