Hi, New member here.

I am looking to upgrade my Tamron 70-300 f4-5.6 lens to something with better image quality.

I find a lot of my shots suffer from chromatic aberration, or at least I think that's what it is, and slightly soft even though I try not to go past about 250mm.

I thought I would have to look at the Canon EF 70-200 f4L USM (non IS) but after a search in this forum I see someone suggested a Canon EF 75-300mm F/4.0-5.6 USM III which is much cheaper.

Can anyone suggest a better lens than the Tamron that is less expensive than the Canon 70-200 f4L as the Canon would stretch my budget.?

Main interest is motorsport, camera is a Canon 1000D.

Many thanks

Dave
 
I have the 70-200 it is a great lens and for image quality your not going to find anything better (well apart from a 2.8!) but the 75-300 is a good lens but then again the 70-200 is much sharper. But if you can't afford the 70-200 have a look at the canon 70-300 f4-5.6 IS USM it's about 100 quid cheaper than the 70-200 the last time I looked because I nearly bought that instead of 70-200 hope it helps, might post some pics with 70-200 if I get a minute :)
 
The 75-300 isn't supposed to be that great. The 55-250IS is well worth a look and excellent value for money.
 
Canon 70-300mm IS - on you crop sensor you wont see much difference with the 70-200mm F4 in image quality but the extra 100mm of the 70-300mm will come in handy - the 75-300mm has a reputation of being crap.
 
I got the Tamron 70-300 Di VC this weekend, and so far, so good!
