I need a decent zoom lens for my Canon t5i. It MUST be under a foot long in its furthest form. Money really isn't a problem but i don't want to spend more then 1,000 but 1,500 would be okay depending on the lens. If it is an L series lens that would be great! It will mainly be used for sports and wildlife.
On a different note i am also looking for a portrait lens. It must preform good in low light. For this one i have a budget of 300-$700. It doesn't have to be made by Canon but it would be better if it was. I am open to any suggestions so feel free to say whatever. Thanks in advance!
Answer
Telephoto zoom: the Canon EF 100-400 F/4.5-5.6 falls top end of your budget.
Portrait - EF 50mm f/1.4 is a superb protrait lens.

Funny, somebody asked this 2 days ago about the 450D...
My answer then and my answer now is that the 50mm is terrible as a walk around lens on a cropped sensor. It´s nice for portraits, but not recommended as your only lens.
Get the 18-55mm zoom. It´s a consumer grade zoom that will do nicely unless/ until you can afford to jump to the $500 mark. In that case get the Canon 17-85mm zoom or the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8. (Or if you want bling-a-ding pro results, save up for the +$1000 Canon 17-55mm f/2.8)
The 50mm f/1.8 does indeed have marginally better image quality than the 18-55mm zoom, but the 50mm will only be useful for 5% of your intended shots.
