James North should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Just when you thought this thread was going away, I've got a question!

After becoming a tad brassed off trying to manover my Sigma 50-500mm lens in an elbow to elbow crowd and often nearly tripping over the seats behind me, I'm seriously considering buying a smaller lens to ease the the problem in this situation.

Sadly this time I will not have an astrominacal budget to blow, unless I strike it lucky on the lotto (and in which case I'd be bribing Ecclestone).

I think my budget can stretch no further than £200 this time, and probably more like £150. (waits arrival for cheque in the post of half of valencia trip owed to me)

I've found a Canon 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III - USM on 7dayshop.com for £119.

My question is, is it worth getting this? It's sussposed to be good for sports. But I'm thinking a board of experienced and talented will be able to give me a much better opinion than a pr biased webpage trying to sell me the damn thing.

Any views, warmly appreciated, thanks.
