Hello Everyone.
I'm so glad I found this forum and it is great to be here! So over the past few days I was lurking around and finally decided to register.
I currently own a Canon EOS 700D and recently started using ML. A friend of mine told ma about it. I still need to get used do it, but I guess it just takes time.
Right now I'm looking for a new telephoto zoom lens. Or I should say I'm not sure about it. I own a pretty basic 18 to 135 mm zoom lens. But I'd like to get a new (better?) one. So far I found a Sigma and Tamron 70-300 mm lens suitable for my camera. I guess the Tamron is a bit more expensive than the Sigma.
I figured out another potion would be a (telephoto) converter lens. So I did some research and checked out some websites classified adds and found some on http://www.for-sale.ie/telephoto-converter-lens (http://www.for-sale.ie/telephoto-converter-lens). There are plenty available but I don't know which one I should pick. I guess this would definitely be the cheapest option because both lenses mentioned above are pretty pricey.
So what should I do now? Get the converter or a proper telephoto zoom lens, and which one? I was also thinking to by a used lens. Are there some common pitfalls to avoid?
And the last thing: are there some (known) issues with the lenses above in conjunction with ML? Is there anything I have to consider with regard to the converter lens as well?
Sorry for all the questions, but I don't know so much about lenses. Therefore any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Tobias.

It's no possible to close aperture on Canon stm lenses when shoot with FRSP (silent) module.
Alright. This is good to know.
