Yep, want to try some out. I think the filters are the real question, might opt out of those and pick up Cameron one from a local store.

The Cameron one from a couple of posts later. I think that is the same one in rebranded though. It functions exactly the same as the Neewer one that I was going to order, from the reviews I read. I just paid twice as much .

Looking at either a Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM or a Sigma 50-500mm F4.5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM with my tax return.

get that one that goes to 500! haha.
"...with smaller APS-c size sensors with a corresponding effective increase in focal length to about 75 to 750mm with most cameras "  Woah.

It has great reviews for the price. Although some said you only really get good shots as far as 460mm, but I'm really just looking for something that can do well to 400mm. So it's probably that one or the Canon 100-400.

Yeah, I figure I will get far more use out of the 10-20, so it will probably be that one first... Plus its on sale right now. Anywho.

So, what lens set ups does everyone have? I'm trying to figure out the best way to build mine up. I want a good range with macro capabilities, at least to the 150-200 mark. Right now I have a couple of lenses that I'm not entirely happy with but will cover my needs until I get more.
I have:
Canon EF 18-55mm IS (stock with the T2i)
Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 II
Canon EF 75-300mm F/4-5.6 III USM <-least happy with this one, and the threading at the end of the lens is missing a chunk.

Would like to start building with that Sigma 10-20mm, then something to replace the 75-300, and finally some primes.
Recommendations? I will be doing a lot of landscape/wildlife/minor bird photography and a good amount of sport pics.

Also what filters do you have/use?

I have these for my 7D:

Canon 18-55mm (stock thing from the EOS 1000D, don't use it anymore)
Sigma 50mm F/1.4 (been doing portraits indoors so far. need to take it out too)
Sigma 70-200mm F/2.8 (mainly for shooting sports)
Tamron 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 (for general outdoor daylight shooting)

The Sigma 50mm is quite popular and pro folk say it's better than the Canon version. Nothing to complain about it so far
