Onzedge its a cannon ER 50mm f/1.8 lens. Would that be a wide aperature lens? i think i may return it unless its better for taking fast shots.

Is it an "EF"? Probably. 1.8 is not super fast, but faster than many lenses. It will be faster (more useful in low light) than your zoom.

I ordered this yesterday:

Canon U.S.A. : Professional Imaging Products : EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM

Darned digital photography is going to cost as much as a Z.

I love that lens... I wish I could justify making the purchase. Wildlife Photography is a big thing for me and right now just using a 55-250mm to get away with it. Luckily the crop factor on my camera helps..

Here are 2 of my 55-250mm shots

We have some nesting falcons or hawks -- hard for me to say exactly which yet, but they are noisy and active. They have been hanging around our backyard in the trees and I hope they are still there when the lens shows up.
