@DrCrouble : Thank you for your answer.


What do you mean by refurbished ? Used lens ?

That's actually a very good idea. It will be the best way to know what lens suits my needs.

one of the cheaper zoom teles (70-200f4LIS, 70-200f2.8L, 70-300L) and
get either the canon 100macroL or sigma 150mm macro (new version a month
old, not the older one)..
I really love wildlife (or people) with a great DOF and cannot afford a big prime (like 400 or 600).

good optically -- even at 300mm. it's heavier, yes, but that doesn't
bother me because it is also 50% longer in reach. My 70-300 probably
spends more time on my camera than any other lens.
Versatility is
important to me too !

I found a site renting the 70-200 IS II for 100€/week. Do you think I could rent it with my 400D or would it hurt my perception of the 70-200 ?
I can't afford the 7D before christmas but I want to rent the 70-200 !
