| | | Long enough for safari?
Hi,
I'm guessing at least some of you guys will have been on a safari, and can help me!
I plan a safari next year. As usual, budget is limited (especially after paying for the safari!), so shelling out £7k for a 600mm f/4 is not an option.
At the moment I have a Nikon D300 + Sigma 100-300mm + 1.4TC combo (so a 210-630mm in 35mm money), which I find works great. I was in Bushy park at the weekend photographing deer, and found it to be plenty long enough for anything except portraits.
My question is simple, will this combo cut it (i.e. will it be long enough) for a safari, or would I just be wasting my time? I keep reading on certain websites comments like "500mm minimum on DX", "at least 400mm + 1.4 TC, otherwise forget it".
