Hello!
I'm new here and to the Photography world. I'm thinking of purchasing a more powerful zoom lens for my Canon 30D camera, I have been using a Canon EF 70-300mm lens and would like something much stronger. I have read reviews and I'm confused now! The Sigma 50-500mm f/4.0-6.3 lens is good, but heavy and slow on the Auto-Focus - on the reviews. The Tamron SP AF 200-500mm f/5-6.3 is lighter and some say good quality, but nothing about it's auto-focus speed. I'm NOT a professional, nor into Photography that much to spend over $1,000, so I would like anyones help on this, please?

I have thought of using a 1.4x Converter also?
