We're looking at booking a safari (Masai Mara etc) for later this year, which inevitably leads to looking at buying long lenses...
I've got a Fuji X-T3 and the 16-55 f2.8 that I really like, and it looks like the Fuji 100-400 might be the best thing to get? Cheaper and more packable than the more bongo 150-600, and longer than the 50-140. I was thinking ideally I'd probably end up with a second body, and have a lens on each to swap between 16-55 and 100-400. I also feel like the 100-400 would be a great toy, so I'd be OK with buying instead of renting.
Does that seem like a sensible way to go, or am I going completely the wrong way with it? Safaris, wildlife photos, and long lenses are all new to me, so I've no idea.
I was in a similar position last summer but for uk birding, and it was cheaper to get the canon ef 100-400 f4 L lens and adapter than the Fuji super zoom. Can pick up the older canon zooms for a very reasonable price, also on an xt3
