The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------

Too long; didn't read: what's a good, somewhat cheap, zoom lens to compliment the 40mm 2.8 pancake?
Newbie here,
Last week I got my first DSLR (t4i) with the 40mm 2.8 lens.
I don't know much about photography or lenses for that matter, and I was wondering...what zoom lens would make a good compliment to the 40mm?
I'm going to school for video, so keep that in mind. Sadly, I can only spend about $500 tops on a lens, since I spent the rest on camera gear. I wish I could get a 70-200mm :'(
I was thinking this one...anyone have any opinions on it? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/169267-GREY/Canon_6473A003AA_75_300mm_f_4_0_5_6_III_Autofocus.html
I would mainly be using it at sporting events, concerts, etc. I don't necessary need a zoom that long, either. I was also considering: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/689620-REG/Sigma_583101_17_50mm_F2_8_EX_DC.html
^but that's if you guys really convinced me. I wasn't blown away with the continuous AF with the STM lens (I'm probably just using it wrong), so I figured any focusing I'll really be doing with the t4i will be manual.
As always, thank you for the advice and enlightenment.
