What camera do you have, and what is your budget?

Also, what lenses do you already have, and what are you trying to shoot?

Hard to make a good recommendation without that info. If you have a Txi setup like half this site, the 70-200 f4L is supposed to be great (I love the f2.8 version), and last I checked it was around $500 to $600 used.

+1 for the 70-200 f4L

i have one and i love it.
best buy typically has some amazing deals on them, i picked one up for 650 brand new

also a pretty common lens if you want to find one on the used market

if you are gonna buy this lens invest in a tripod ring, it is a pretty heavy piece of glass

Angenieux Optimo 28-340, constant f2,9 aperture throughout the zoom-range, sexy 327 degree focus rotation with 70 focus witness marks and no breathing, what more do you want?
