I'll be in NYC next week for the Photo Plus Expo and I'd like to do some birding at Central Park and other places (Jamayca bay).
I won't bring my big lens so I was thinking of buying the 70-300/L IS.
I am not sure if a 300mm would be enough overall and the 100-400 would be better.
But sine the 100-400 seems to be replaced soon, I am not much into buying it now. Thinking about renting one while I'm there.
And the 70-300/L IS although has good reviews I can't justify the lens at this price, main reasons are (compared to the 100-400):
- no tripod collar
- no focus delimiter
- f5.6 at 300mm
If the lens was less than U$ 1,000 I think I would take it but not at the current price.
What are your thoughts ?
My travel kite now is:
Canon 7D
Canon 10-22
Sigma 17-50/2.8 OS
Any suggestion of a portable GPS that goes in the backpack to add tracklog information later ?
Thank you.
