Best Lens Currently I am trying to find out which is the better lens for soccer 75-300 or the 100-300. I have a Canon Elan 7.I know a good "L" lens would be best but all I can spend is $200.

For $200 or less your best choices are Sigma 70-300 f/4-5.6 APO Macro Tamron 70-300 f/4-5.6 LD 1:2 Macro Canon EF 75-300 f/4-5.6 (w/ or w/o USM) Sigma 70-300 f/4-5.6 DL Macro Tamron 75-300 f/4-5.6 LD Macro The Canon EF 100-300 f/4.5-5.6 USM is about the same sharpness, but has some better ergonomic touches - non-rotating front element and ring-USM with nicely damped full-time manual focus. But it usually sells for more than $200. Avoid 70-300 or 100-300 zooms that have smaller maximum aperture range of f/4.5-6.3, f/4.5-6.7, or f/5.6-6.7. Canon's Rebel and Elan autofocus cameras need f/5.6 or wider (smaller f-number) maximum aperture to function reliably.

Thanks! Outside of the price constraint and the "L" series is there a better lens for this type of photography. Or is the difference going to be only the speed of the lens?
