    Telephoto lens for wild life shooting on a D90

    Hey guys,
    Im new to photography and love shooting wild life at the moment i have the standard 18-105 lens.
    Im looking to upgrading to a telephoto lens and was just wondering which is bets for shooting wild life, anything from around $1500 down is my budget.
    Also where is best to buy lenses from online or from a camera store?

    Cheers
    Jason

    For the budget you discussed I would be looking at a Sigma 150 - 500 mm Lens.

    I've bought heaps of stuff online and had it delivered to my po box, no problem at all. But, if I know a local shop has an item in stock my preference is to drive there and get it, but that's just me, others may have a different feel. I'm thinking of getting the same Sigma, although the MTF at 500mm indicates a bit of astigmatism. Just short of 500mm should be relatively ok.

    A prime 300/4 will be the best choice for your budget for wildlife.
