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.
