help iam after a walk about/ wildlife lens for around £500 to £600 i know i wont be getting the big boys but whats out there in this price range thanks for your help and happy new year
what do you think of the canon 100-400f/4.5-5.6l
You'll need to define "best" before that question is meaningful.so which is best:
canon 70-200f4 L is
canon 70 200 f/2.8 L
canon 70 300 is f/4 L
canon 100 400 f/4.5 L is
sigma 70 200 f/2.8
sigma 100 300 f/4 ex
.please its doing my head in( p.s i dare say i can stretch my wallet but don't tell the wife )
You have to think of weight (as well as price and the reaction of the missus)
Canon's 70-200 F2.8 and 100-400 are heavy lenses and are not something you can just sling over your shoulder as a walkabout.
The Canon 70-200 F4 is lighter and more manageable.
My option would be the sigma 70-200 F2.8 and a sigma 1.4 TC for when you want a bit longer reach.
It's a combination I'm happy with, and light enough as a walkabout.
i can carry the lens iam 6ft 6inch tall twenty one stone i could carry it all day long(all muscle bye the way)i like to get out and about
