Ok so basically right now I am shooting with some pretty LOW END lenses. Crap in fact. My question is if you had no more than $700 to spend on a lens and had basically nothing what would you buy?
40% of my time is spent shooting wake from the boat and the other 60% ranges from portraits and wildlife to landscapes. Pretty much a little bit of anything and everything. I need something that can do everything LOL.
Any suggestions?

get the 70-200mm f/4 for $650 at b&h (try to find used at b&h, fredmiranda.com and amazon). try to scrounge a bit more and also get the 50mm f/1.8 at b&h for $110.
How is that 50mm gonna be good shooting from a boat? Just cropping the hell out of the shot if you want a close up or just recommended for the portrait aspect of his shooting?
Like Joe said 70-200 f-4. this lens is very sharp (see Walt's wake shots) Fred Miranda.com has a great buy/sell forum, you can pick a good used one up off FM for about $500, avoid ebay. Amazon has a couple used 50mm 1.8 right now for $95.00
