Do you mean zoom (variable focal length) or telephoto (long focal length)?
Or maybe a telephoto zoom?
If money is tight, hire a 70-200 f2.8 IS from Calumet. Then start saving because you will want one.
If you're after buying then you can get a prime at 200mm f2.8, not as versatile on length but far cheaper.
You need a 50mm f1.8 as well just because its £80 and pays for itself many times over. For the money there's no better way of taking pics in low light.

depends how close you are.
sigma make a 28-70mm f2.8 for under £300 plus the 70-200 f2.8 for around £600 I'm going to get the 28-70 soon I also have a 30mm f1.4 to.
as for cheapest. just search on line for various places
