I will be upgrading to a digital SLR setup (Nikon N70 to a Canon DRebel XT) and would like some advice on a good long lens choice. I'll be starting from scratch due to the change from Nikon (film) gear to Canon (digital), so I will be getting the "kit" lens to start. I like to do a lot of nature photography (mostly elk, deer, bear, etc), and also try to shoot at my kids football/swimming practices so I will need a longer lens for those times.
I have a 80-200 f2.8 and a 300 f4 that I love to use on the film camera.
I've also started to dabble in some macro work as well.
So for the DRebel XT what are some recommendations for a long lens (zoom or fixed) and a decent macro lens that won't break a small bank?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
