Looking to buy a lens with more Zoom;
have the standard lens from purchase last year: 18-55 mm
Can someone recommend a good lens for a novice who likes nature & landscape photography?
I should have said I am hoping to pay under $400!!!
Welcome! I have the T3i and like the 55-250 mm lens very much. It won't help you for long-distance wildlife, I'm afraid :)
Hope you have fun on this informative, addictive site :)
Welcome, I'm a Nikonian but will help any way I can. After a photo safari where a fellow traveler smoked me with his birds in flight shots using a Canon t4i, I moved up from a Nikon P500 superzoom to a D5200. So in a way, I owe my latest camera choice to Canon, I needed to be able to do that too! 5 frames a second with a 55-300 zoom lens is lots of fun... You'll like it here, great group of folks.

Hi Dick, welcome to the hog. Knowing you only want to spend about $400 you choices are a bit limited. Check out some of the off brands at your local camera store that have the Canon lens mounts.
