[QUOTE="Kodiak, post: 173861, member: 15426"] [COLOR="#B22222"]but it does give me twice the available distance from target if i am reading it right?[/COLOR] Indeed, this "back up distance" to the subject is the main argument. One may throw in the same bag the extra features of compression and perspective. I remember a motorcycle journey through north America… In the south-west desert, I shot my most beautiful and dramatic photos of rattle snakes, at dawn, by the side of the road. There was a crowd, I stopped, looked and saw that people wanted to take picture of the snakes enjoying the rest heat from the tarmac… No one dared to come too close but all wanted to have pictures. I counted at least 15 mature specimens and the rattling was loud. Since everybody was standing back, I had enough room to sneak in and, with my 200mm macro, took some very cool slides of the scary things at a "safe" distance. And other advantage of the longer lens and the extended distance to the subject, is that it gives a better chance at composing your shot, as the distance will keep your very own shadow off the target! Think of the way you work, what tool you need… in one word: do your homework! My only strategy, when it comes to buying gear: NO LIMIT! Of course, price tags do the same! [/QUOTE]
