Hi,
I am going on Safari in June and I am looking for some advice regarding a lens to take.
I am using a Canon 550D, 17-40L and 28-105. From what I have read so far idealy I should be looking at 300mm.
As I do not think I would use the lens so much after the safari I was planing to hire the lens.
I have looked at Canon EF 70-300 DO IS USM as it seems to be a fair bit smaller and a bit easier to move arround.
I have read some so so reports about the image quality, has anyone any experience?
Most of the images will be on my pc screen and the better ones in a photo book at A4 size.
Or I could buy for about £200 a 55-250mm F4/5.6 or 75-300mm F4/5.6 but again so so reports about quality.
So any advice or thoughts would be great.
Cheers,
alex
