[QUOTE="camoman, post: 38137, member: 571"] Davey, a lot of what lens you want will depend on what you want to shoot. I have a 70-300mm Canon f/4-5.6 IS USM and it's a nice short telephoto for larger critters (sort of), landscapes, and some portraiture. If you want to shoot animals (large game, predators, birds, etc.) you'll want something 500mm or larger. You can remain a comfortable distance (mostly for the critters sake) and still capture great photos. Get as low an f/ stop number as you can. Also, you will pay dearly for these lenses. Don't pay $300 for a lens that shoots 600-1300mm, it just won't shoot how you want it to. Photo editing software go Lightroom. It will do everything you want the program to do and then some. Keep in mind to zoom in and still have great photos you need to be shooting upwards of 16-20mp. Your XSI may not shoot quite as well as you would like it to. [/QUOTE]
