What camera lense

I highly recommend that you get a longer zoom lens with stabilization built-in. The stabilization is key because I doubt you're going to pull out a tripod and take a photo on time delay when you're snapping picks of animals in the bush around dusk.

I have a Nikon and used primarily my 70-300mm lens. It was enough zoom to capture animals we spotted on the back of the truck.

Good luck and enjoy your safari!
 
I again agree with the 70/75-300 zoom you will be able to get one as low as $400 up to a couple thousand. The less you are changing lenses the better.
 
Cannon and Pentax are two different companies like Cannon and Nikon.
You might be able to get an adapter to use a Pentax lense but you would be better off getting a cannon lens.
 
Go with Canon

We stick with Canon cause then it makes things easy
Mom has her Canon and dad has his cannon, :W Rockets:.
Both shooting animals
Both needing accessories
Both needing upgrades
Frequently :E Oh Yeah:
 
Nikon makes recent (for digital cameras) in two sizes, depending on the sensor screen. so there is some variation as to which lens will work best on the camera. However, with the larger screen (the more expensive models) virtually any of the older lenses designed for the film cameras will work. so those that have the older lenses won't have to change-over if they get one of the bodies that use the film lenses.
 
Please Please Huntinlabs .!!!!
Whatever photo or video equipment your good lady takes to africa ,
practise practise practise with it till you can do it in poor light with your eyes closed !!
Dont learn how to use it when you get there .
Make every memory count.
YOU CANT TAKE TO MANY PHOTOS .
 
She has been taking some with the lense she has now making sure she knows where all the quick settings are by memory only and not looking at the camera

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
