Hi,
Im looking for some advice on which kit to take on our upcoming trip to Botswana. Wildlife photography isnt something that I do a great deal of so Im hoping someone with some more experience could offer some advice.
Currently the longest reach lens I have is the 70-200 2.8L. I have a 1.4 extender which I have to admit has hardly ever been used. Im trying to work out whether this will really be long enough or whether I should look at hiring something like a 100-400. I did wonder about hiring a long prime but was slightly concerned that it might be too restrictive.
We have two day stop off at Livingstone and Victoria Falls so Ill definitely be taking the 17-40L and 50 1.4 as they cover me for more general shooting and landscapes.
So, should I take the 70-200 or hire something more suitable for the safari aspect of our trip? What are peoples thoughts on the most suitable safari lens? Is a high quality long prime practical?
FF body by the way
Cheers,
Andy.
