Safari shots with XPro2 (South Africa & Botswana)
18

Hi everyone,

Long-time lurker, first share thread!

Recently back from safari in the Kalahari, Okavango Delta, and Great Plains with an XPro2 & XE-2 as my backup. The 100-400mm and 55-200mm lenses were used predominantly. Not a Safari camera for sure, but I had a great time shooting the wildlife.
