Hotel Soap is super proud of his little perfumed balls that never get dirty or stinky

Is there a big difference going from a 250mm shot to 300mm? I have a Canon EF-S 55-250mm lens and was wondering if getting the Tamron SP 70-300mm would be an improvement? I would mainly be shooting wildlife with that lens.

Can I ask how much more zoom you get compared to a 18-55mm lens? I've got the kit lens that came with my Rebel T3 and I found that I just can't get some of those far away shots that I crave.

You get a lot. Here's a handy tool to give you an idea of how much it really is.

That was an incredibly helpful tool, thank you. That also gave me an idea of how little difference there is between a 250mm and 300mm.
