I quite fancy a tele lens for the crop camera - makes sense to make the most use of the added reach the small(er) sensor offers.
Canon 100-300mm EF USM (150-450mm with APS-C crop) ?

My dad has one of them. Its definitely not sharp. Also, stabilisation is definitely needed as I'll be using it on a 450D which only goes to ISO 1600 if you're feeling brave. At lower ISOs (100-400), it's stunning so I'd rather keep it at those numbers.
One option is the 70-200 f4 L IS. Not as ludicrously expensive as the 2.8 version but smaller and still weather-sealed etc. Plus, I'd be able to use it on the 6D, which is a big plus point over any EF-S zoom.

Is the 55-250 STM worth a punt @Vesalius?
Would love something in the 400mm range but the only options are full-blown EF L series white lenses that cost an arm and a leg.
Does anyone do crop-specific tele primes?
