re lenses

Sorry,about that.

Yes,a canon 70-200 F4 would be a lovely choice,I'd keep away from non camera brand lenses.If you wanted F2.8 the canon non IS version is a very fine lens.approx $1200 from DWI

Not sure about using the f2.8 version for astro work would go,I tried a few times with mine,got lots of reflections in images,there must be a lot of glass inside,More likely I did not know how to use it for astro work.

If you want a really good long canon lens,the 400 L F5.6 is amazing!,I have used it a few times piggy back and one could really get some great images with that glass,if you could afford it now,its quite a reasonable price,compared to when I bought mine.Really great for wildlife too.
