Which telephoto zoom lens for Canon 400D?
Our work camera is a 400D with a stock 18-55mm EF-S 1:3.5-5.6 II on it. The lens is nothing great but it’s OK for general photography i.e. work portraits, publicity shots etc. I need to buy a new lens, a longer one, for conference coverage, a lens that can do something like a torso and head shot at about 60 feet or so, one that can zoom and yet with a decent aperture for stage lighting but it wouldn’t be used for anything as demanding as sports or serious pro photography… I’d prefer a Canon lens, as I’m not paying for it. Which range should I look at? And if anyone can also recommend a good, but not ultra-pro, flash camera-mounted adjustable-head flash unit that can be used with it, that would be fab, too.
