Question

I have a Cannon T1i. And the zoom on the stock sucks, bad. I am looking into getting a new lens, with better zoom, definetley. and i was just wondering what lens would give me the most bang for my buck? i dont really care about anything else on the lens, just good zoom

How about a Sigma 50-500. That's a lot of zoom.

I just bought the Tamron 18-270mm for my Canon Xsi. My first Tamron lens, and it was hard to stray from Canon. But due to there new technology of there vc image stabilization I had to try it out. It works great to say the least, and highly recommend it. To my surprise, at Full zoom 270mm, the image quality outperforms my EF70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM, and is half the price.
