OK I'm looking for a bit of info about what kind of backup you guys use for a wildlife lens?
Story is this.
I've just came back from a tiger safari in India. On the first of fourteen safaris, my Sigma 120-300 lens packed in. The internal focusing element became detached rendering the lens useless.
I had to make do with an old lens I had with a max focal length of 85mm.
What I need to know is what kind of backups you guys use for that situation. I know people say about a second body in case the first one breaks, but the lens??
I was thinking about buying a P900 as a backup but thought i'd get your thoughts first.
Cheers Lee
