Can anyone recommend a good zoom/telephoto lens for outdoor football and cricket action shots, please?

Budget???

Have a canon 400D with a 70-300 tamron zoom lens, wanted to get even closer to the action, looking around £ 500 to £ 800 for a lens

perhaps a second hand 100-400?

The sigma 150-500 you ll pick one up off the bay for £500-600. Super bit of kit for the money..

Used Canon 400mm f/5.6 L?

Either the Sigma 120-400 OS or the 150-500 OS, a second hand Canon 100-400 L or the 400 f5.6L or the Sigma 50-500 OS if you can find a second hand one. I've not used the 400 f5.6 but I've used the rest and I've stuck with the 150-500 OS while the wife has the 120-400 OS. All will give you great IQ and all will be within your budget, and with the 120-400 and 150-500 you should get new ones for your budget if you look around.
