What lens to get?

Hey everyone! So I have been wanting a new lens for a while now, but I don't know which one to get. I would love to have a macro lens, but I would also like to have a lens that can zoom into at least 200 and has a low f-stop (if they make them). Either one would be great because I love shooting macro shots, and I love taking pictures of birds and things with a good zooming lens. The problem is, I don't know where to find one, and I thought that I might as well ask some experienced users here on tookapic. So if you know of any good lenses I might like, please tell me below! :) Thanks, Jesse

Jesse Lind I am only 13, so I can't go super high, 2k might might be a tad bit too much, but I will definitely looking into it for the future!
Thanks so much for your help! :)

Zawalich Rafał He can buy sigma apo 70-200mm f 2.8 its little bit cheaper and i dont see too big difference

Marcin Chęciński Macro lenses, M42 prime lenses with an adapter! Fully manual, it's good fun and really cheap price with amazing bokeh.

Lauri Elias If I'd want a cheap lens that's good enough, I'd probably look into (old) Russian lenses. Don't know if that's much of an option in the US though.

Bridget Braun Got this one for christmas!

Satoshi T About middle telephoto and macro , I always use EF 100mm F2.8 macro USM for still life and bye bye series. I always use it with speedlight , I don't need IS( It's lower cost) . If you use in field, I recommend with IS.

Marek This is one of the best I ever used, but in the same time, one of the most expensive lenses... @Satoshi

Chris I love my 70-200mm f2.8 that I purchased a couple of months ago! Such a satisfying and versatile lens!
