Re: Agree, long lens.

I would start looking at some of the 150 and 180 macros . They are cheap and as long as you get the ISO around 1000 or 1200 , the speed should be high / fast enough .

I use the rubber hoods that you can pop in and out to suit conditions .

I also use burst - a 60 mb card really helps . Keep F stop in the 5.6 / 8 range for DOF
