Hi,
Planning to go to Kenya for a safari this year. I am thinking of taking 70-200 f/4 IS for zoom and 10-20 Sigma for landscapes.
Read on the net that 200 range is just not enough for wildlife.
By profession, I am an accountant and not a pro photographer, therefore, not very sure to spend so much money on this lens. It is almost 50% more that what I am prepared to spend right now (thinking that will buy 50-500 Sigma). Otherwise also not sure that what to do with the lens once back from safari. Can not get lens on rent in this part of the world.
Is this lens tooo heavy handheld? As in safari rarely you get chance to spread tripod in the van.
Need help in making up mind.
