They are used to seeing big lenses at AK. ; Used my 80-400 there without a problem. ; Don't think I would use it in any other park.
i've used big lenses in all the parks. ; no worries. ; the lens just came today. ; it's pretty big and heavy but WOW!
here is a VERY quick sample of the amazing range of the 50-500 OS... no PP applied, straight outta camera, just a resize...
Hey let's throw that on my camera with the 1.6 crop factor and the 2x tele converter and see what we get.
Bring the big lens. ; I can tell you that we got all kinds of comments on the lenses that we brought to Pixelmania! last year. ; It was a lot of fun to pick off the shots during the safari.
