I was going to recommend my canon EF 100-300 USM - when I realize they don't seem to make it anymore (wow, remember when cameras weren't digital). This seems to be replaced by the 75-300 EF 4.5/5.6. If the optics are about the same - then its an great general purpose telephoto zoom lens - very versatile and you can still take great photos with it. I'm sure the optics and build quality isn't the same as the 100-400 but its still a solid camera. Goes for about 200. (I bought the 100-300 for sale for about $300 - about 20 years ago - wow how things have changed).
As for macro - I think there are only 2 realistic options - the 100mm/F2.8 and the "L" version of that.
