Hey Bec

Warehouse Express - Camera Accessories and Lenses, Photography Equipment, Canon, Nikon Digital Cameras

used them plenty before, very reliable and Andy Rouse tends to give honest reviews. i shoot nikon here at the studio but canons rule..both are great and neither will let you down or give bad results!
sigma lens are good alternatives and nicely priced these days
once you have settled on something, pop into london camera exchange nr Marlands in soton and get a hands on play. buy online if its cheaper also better payment options with spreading costs over 12 months etc.
good luck and take your time!
