Thanks for the replies. I'm looking to spend around $200-$300 on a lens. I'm using my income tax return, part of it, to buy one. I was looking at a 28 mm and a 28-70 mm. The lens I'm using now is a 75-210 mm, and I have to be so far away to get the whole group in. I bought it last yr with the income tax return money as I like doing action shots of my horses in the pasture and at rodeo and horse shows.
I'm learning so much on this board...sometimes I feel so dense about a few things though.
