Hello to all,
in March 2015 (3/20/2015) i will arrive FROM Frankfurt/Germany in Miami. A Dream Comes True for me. :tinysmile_shy_t:
I will Rent a SUV and then one week only wildlife photography is on my wishlist.
My main aims will be the ospreys and the Burrowing Owls.. so i think and plan about these locations:
BUNCHE BEACH PRESERVE, CAPE CORAL, ESTERO LAGOON, SANIBEL ISLAND, VENICE ROOKERY and for Ospreys:
Lake Blue Cypress
I know many people ask about the same.. so i will read as much as i can here.
But my first question is another one:
I dont know, wich are th best lenses for this trip.
I want to achieve the best possible compromise.
Teleconverters will be no problem in any case and a monopod/tripod is in the normal luggage.
These Lenses are possible and i have two bodies for choose: 1DX and the new 7D Mark II
EF 600/4 II L IS (my best lens, quality is outstanding; but it is still heavy and not very good for handheld shooting) :c3:
EF 300/2.8 L IS (Version1, i coud borrow me this one from a friend) without TC or with 1.4 TC it is very good, with 2x TC not bad.
EF 100-400L IS (Version 1, i have a good one)
EF 70-200L IS II ( i could borrow me this one also from a friend)
But not all together ! So thats my problem:
1.) IF i carry the 600mm Primelens by plane, there is only space for one smaller lens (70-200 or the 100-400) and only for ONE Body (Fullframe or Crop then ??) !
2.) IF i carry the (smaller) 300mm Primelens with me, ich could take both smaller lenses and both bodies also with me.
But wich Combination is the best one to achieve maximumm of good pictures in the seven days ??
So please, what is recommended from the Florida Specialists here ? :e3
Thank You So much :5 :wave:
