Someone on a different thread was asking a similar question and I recommended they take a look at the Tamron SP 70-300mm f4-5.6 VC USD lens. It is designed for full frame but will work fine on your 60D. It has a great VC(vibration compensation) system and is pretty lightweight. With your camera you could easily bump up the ISO a little to make up the stop or two of light. The great part is at Camera Land they have the lens listed at $449 and there is currently a $100 rebate on the lens through the end of the month. $349 end price on a great lens is in my opinion the best way to go. Here is a link to Camera Land's page on the Tamron SP 70-300mm Di VC USD lens. Give Joel a call up there and let him know you are a member of the Campfire forum.


Great photography is not about being in the right place at the right time, it is about putting yourself in the right place at the right time.
