Hi all,
I have a good bit of hunting experience, so I have no trouble getting "in close" to big game animals. I want to apply my archery experience to get shots of big game (mostly deer) up close. Since I shoot Canon, I was thinking of getting the 70-200 F4 L IS USM, and since I have a 1.6 FOVCF (Rebel XTi), this should give me 320mm effective at F4.
Will this be enough to fill the frame? Can anyone tell me what kind of glass is required to get good shots from 30 yards away? Is F4 good enough light-wise, or should I spring for F2.8? The shots will mostly occur in the woods, and mostly in early morning or late evening light.
Also, what impact does shutter noise have on animals? It seems to me that it is going to spook them.
Thanks,
cardplayer
