I leave for Kenya in about a month. I have a Canon A2e and I need to get a
good telephoto zoom for wildlife photography. I want to spend about $500
to $1000 US and have a good general purpose lens after the trip. Right now
I'm looking at two combinations:
1) Canon 100-300 5.6L with a Tamron 1.4x SP AF: cost is about $600
2) Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 APO EX HSM with a Sigma APO 2.0x EX: under $1100
Option 1 would give me an economical slow AF 420mm f8 lens.
Option 2 would give me a faster more reliable AF 400mm f5.6 lens. I
believe that the 70-200 f2.8 lens would be a good portrait lens after the
trip.
Any advice concerning this choice would be welcome. If anyone has
suggestions for other combinations around a $1000 US or less I'd be
interested. Thanks.
