    I have my sigma 30mm f1.4 for low light and general all round shooting and love it but now looking for a telephoto to go with it for my canon 60D.
    Budget is about 400-500. Possibly stretch more if worth it

    Even just looking at the telephoto list here doesn't give you much scope with your budget -

    Second hand 70-200mm F4 can be found for around €400 to €450.

    I use one with my 60D, and love it. Fantastic built quality and incredibly sharp (:

    There's also the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 (non OS version), which can be found for €600ish if you want the extra stop (perhaps a very slightly at the expense on sharpness)

    friend is heading to hong kong next week and is visiting here so my options opened up a bit.

    He recommends the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 for my budget?
    Also had my eye on the sigma 17-50mm f2.8 OS.
    These two lenses along with my canon 50mm f1.8 a good setup with my canon 60D?
