question on lenses

I obtained my rebel in March and have put it to good use with the supplied es lens and plus the lenses that i had for my eod 1000fn which was a ef 70-300 lens. Now I have been looking at some of the L series lenses and in particuler the new ef 28-300 f/3.5 -5.6l IS USM and Ef100-400 f/4.5-5.6l.

I know that there is a vast dfference in price from approx $2500 for the 28-300 and $1400 for the 100-400 which is still way less than i can get them for in the UK.

I take photographs on a wide range of subjects from nesting birds to landscapes and need a good alround lens to do this which was why i was leaning towards the 28-300. I will also be getting the battery grip and a 1x4 extender when i come over to NEw York in September.

Suggestions on other options would be of great help and any reviews of these lenses by people who are using them on the rebel would be great..

Happy Picture taking

The 70-200 f/4L is a superb lens and can be had for about $500 US.

I'd also recommend the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 XR Di.... I have both and very happy with them... The Tamron is about $329.

Also the canon 50mm f/1.8 II is a great little lens and can be had for $80.
