So I know a few of you are pretty serious enthusiasts, I've realized quickly after moving to Iceland I need some more hefty zoom than the standard one I got with my Canon Rebel T2i kit.

I'm trying to keep it around $500, but here's a few I've spotted that sound promising:

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6IS USM Lens $699

Canon EF 100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM Telephoto Zoom Lens $599

Also I've noticed I need a good UV filter and a good cap, the sun in the summer here tends to be lower on the horizon than in Canada which presents a lot of glare, flares from light.

Any advice on decent ones for the lenses I'm aiming for would be much appreciated.
