I found this on Ebay NEW for a great price of $140- Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT XTi 100-300mm AF Lens.... Is this a decent lens? I am using it to photograph Southern California's jittery and sporadic wildlife, up to this point I've only had a 55 mm max zoom.....so this 300 should do me well. Would this be sufficient to get decent photogaphs of coyotes, bobcats and mountain lions from up to 50 feet away?

probably a 100-400 IS lens would be better as it's hard enough to keep the lens still on that long of a lens w/o the image stabilizer. if you tried shooting a mountain lion from 50 feet away you probably owuldn't live to see the results, plus it'd probably still be on the small side with a 300.

Brandon...
Check here for a listing of 25 reviews of this lens. The numbers are not that great but it will certainly give you more reach if it's all you can swing at this point...
