What telephoto lens should be the first addition?

Discussion of Canon EOS 350D Rebel XT Black SLR Digital Camera Kit

Posted Jun 8, 2006 - I recently acquired a Canon Digital Rebel XT with the standard 18-55mm lens and am extremely pleased with my purchase. I want to add a telephoto lens to venture back into photographic subjects I have ignored while using less capable digital cameras and solicit opinions from forum members on this topic. Off the top, I am considering a Canon 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 II/III USM EF Lens for $270 - given the perspective of digital vs 35mm (due to the smaller footprint of the sensor), that equates to around a 110-480mm zoom with reasonably fast apertures. There are some non-USM lenses attractively priced and I am novice enough with digital SLR's to only guess that the AF action on those would be noisier and slower, but comments would be welcomed. With 35mm photography, I generally limited myself to 200mm f4 but always felt the extra reach of a 300mm would have been useful. So even a 55-200mm seems likely to achieve that objective. But the added zoom to comparable 400mm plus is enticing. With less than a month of digital SLR experience, I truly would appreciate some advice from those who are more knowledgeable.
