Besides the (almose) fifty mm, I have a 28/95 and a 75/300 which is priceless for far-a-way shots...so therefore, highly recommend that for those shots... You can pick--up good used ones reasonable on ebay....

What lens were these taken with? How close do you want to get? How big is your check book? LOL :D

There are many long Canon lenses that are reasonalbly priced. (depending on how long you've been doing this your idea of "reasonably priced" may change over time ) :)
Canon has a 70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens that's not too bad.

No...I mean that the 70-300III in particular wasn't a good lens specifically...it's a stinker. (I think that the III version is the bad one)
I realize that there are other canon lenses that are good.

It really depends on your budget !
A TAMRON 70-300 F 4-5.6 with IS will run you about $400 while the CANON 100-400 about $1,600
