Tour company advised bringing at least a 300mm telephoto lens for SLR cameras. I have no experience with TP lenses.
We have a Canon Rebel T5i SLR camera. The Canon 300mm TP lens runs anywhere from $85 to $250 on various sites. Space, not price is the issue. The 300MM will fit in the gadget bag along with the camera.
I also see ads for a 500-1,000mm lens, for not much more money, but the durn thing must be a foot long. Would require its own bag, more to hang around one's neck, safeguard from accidents, etc. We need to travel light.
Would the big lens be that much better for getting long shots of wildlife and so on?
Thanks
