[QUOTE="aroy, post: 432886, member: 16090"] The type of lens depends on how large and how far the creatures will be from your location. . If the size and distance are highly variable - Large animals moving within 50 yards and small birds at 400 yards, then you need a good wide range zoom, and the 150-600 is the most affordable one. . If most of the creatures are quite far away and the light is low, then you need a fast long prime. The most cost effective is the 300mm F4 + TC 1.4 combination. Stay away from the various versions of the xx-300 zooms, they are quite soft at longer end and not fast enough. Instead of getting an inexpensive zoom and regretting later, better save up and get a good zoom/prime lens. [/QUOTE]
