Have a Canon 30D.  Wondering what lens or lenses you guys would suggest if I want to photograph wildlife as well as landscape, preferably no wide angle.  Let me know what you think.

 24-105L is a great all purpose.  100-400L will bring far stuff close.  Figure on $3K between the 2 of them by the time you pay shipping or sales tax.

5575.  probably not enough to get them both right off the bat.  I want good lenses but I don't need to be spending life savings on them.  Keep in mind I'm still in college.

Any of the 'L' series zoom lens are ideal. The 70-200L, 2.8 is great because it allows low light shooting and has the polished, pro lens. These will run $1200+ but well worth it. If you are not looking to spend that much, try a Tamron lens. You can get pretty good quality however in the less expensive price range, the lens are usually 4.5-5-4 aperture opening so you may need to use a tripod in low light conditions.
