Hello again everyone, I'm in the market for a used Telephoto for me to take hiking this spring and summer. It will be mounted on my Canon EOS rebel XS. I've been scouring Adorama.com for the past week or two and I've got 3 used lenses saved in my wish list and I'm looking for some input on each of them.
First I want to say that I realize none of these lenses are great, but I want a telephoto and I'm on a very limited budget. Of the following three choices, which do you guys think I should go with. I plan to order later today or tonight if I can get some input from some of you more knowledgeable shutterbugs here on the forum.
Here are the three lenses
Tamron 80-210 http://www.adorama.com/US%20%20%20%20323210.html
Promaster 70-300 http://www.adorama.com/US%20%20%20%20327397.html
Quantaray 70-300 http://www.adorama.com/US%20%20%20%20376347.html
The promaster and quantaray are appealing because they have a wider range, up to 300mm but I wonder if the Tamron is better quality and therefore a better choice. Also the Quantaray is appealing for it's price but again I wonder how the quality is. I have used a couple of Tamron lenses, but not the other two brands.
Thanks in advance for any advice :thumbsup:
