If you can live with manual focus, there's the good old 70-210 F4.
I've seen them going for 30-50 GBP. So good value, reasonably fast and
quite compact.

I don't know. The 70/200 is obviously good and a stop faster than the 60-250,
but I already have the latter. I may sell it and the 50-135 some day, but I'm

I agree but at f8 the 100-300 is just as sharp.
Unfortunately, most of the time that I'd be using it would likely be
doing things like photographing musicians, in which case I wouldn't want

It's been my go to lens for years now on aps-c and full frame. It's excellent.
The 150-450 is astounding. But it's much bigger and heavier. If you're serious

success with this combination. I have an FA 100-300 which I used before
I acquired an HD 55-300. Despite the glowing reviews for the 55-300,
Read this (right down to the end).

So you're effectively looking for something like 28mm to something
between 300mm and 400mm.That's not too big... Well unless someone
has repealed the laws of physics that's not going to happen.I don't
think that can be made compact or light weight.
