for a relatively shorter telephoto the IS 28-135IS is a great choice. Cheaper as compared to others and a good everyday lens.

For anything around 300mm you would need a monopod or a tripod anyways. Why not look at the Bigma then? (Sigma 50-500mm). It is big, heavy and great zoom and for the price it is awesome.
