Hi all,
Would the photographers out there among you give me some advice on a
good lens for bird photography (Canon mount)? I'm currently weighing up
a few options, such as the EF 70-200 f/4L, the EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L or
even a prime such as the EF 400 f/5.6L. This would be for semi-pro
purposes using film.
The 70-200mm lens is the most attractive, as it is the least costly,
but I'm not sure that 200mm will cut the mustard with some of the
smaller birds/herps I'd like to photograph. It also means I'd have to
get closer. The 100-400mm is more attractive because of the longer
range, and greater versatility than the 70-200, but it's much more
expensive. Can anyone who owns either of these two lenses (or a good
alternative) give me some advice? How do they perform? Is there a
cheaper alternative with acceptable results?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
