• Definitely on the right track. We went on a safari 4/5 years ago (S. Africa, so slightly different) and I had the Fuji 55-200, which was great. Couple of pics below for reference.

    I sort of wish I’d had the 100-400 as well, but less of an issue in S. Africa as you’re basically restricted to what’s near the roads anyway.

    I have literally just traded in both a 55-200 and 100-400 with Wex, but would very happily get them back if you wanted to have a look at them.

  • Thanks! Lovely photos. Excuse my ignorance (and apologies for being a bit off-topic), but how is S. Africa different to Kenya for a safari? Totally new to it all.

    I'm up in Manchester, so probably out of range to look at your lens, but thanks for the offer - if only we'd started planning it a bit sooner!

    @C4r1s I have seen those, but I like the idea of it all being weather- and dust-sealed. I've dreams of taking photos of rainy rally stages at some point if I own the lens, or just using it for general all-weather hiking like I do the 16-55.

    I've only been to Kenya but @PeteJChurchill's photos seem to have loads more vegetation. I remember wide grasslands so not much in the way. Random example (from ~2004, shot on film with a 200mm lens IIRC).
