She does it more for fun...she's definitely not a professional, but she wants to take the best shots possible, and she feels that her current hardware is her biggest limitation.

Right, I was thinking mid-range, although the Sigma is only $300 more than the Canon Jimmy recommended, so it sounds like it may be worth the additional cost. After all, if she takes care of it, she probably wouldn't need another telephoto lens, so it would be a one-time cost, I'm guessing. Understand that I have absolutely no clue about this type of lens accept that I believe it allows you to take long distance shots.

Hope that helps,

Thanks man. I appreciate it.
