Lens choice?

[Nordic]

I have been given the green light to look around for a tele zoom lens for my Canon DSLR.

I would love to be able to say that I can spend £1000+ on it, but I can't and it would be a waste anyway as i doubt I will use it much and I still need to eat.

So a realistic amount for me is up to £200 ish, this seems to be able to get me a Canon AF70-300 or one from say Tamron. I know you get what you pay for but has anyone got any suggestions?

Would I be better of getting a 70-200 of better quality if such a thing exists?

Maybe Save up a bit and get a Canon 70-200 F4, the optics will be so much better, but 200mm might be a little short on most circuits

I use a Canon 70-200 F2.8 and it works a treat with a 1.4x
