Re: Upgrading from a Rebel T3i to T6s~Upgrade the lens? Wildlife shooting is the goal.

Currently I use a 5d3 mostly for landscape and the 7d2 for birds and other wildlife.  Having two bodies eliminates a lot of screwing around switching out lenses.  My T3i is now being enjoyed by my son-in-law who very much appreciated the hand me down,

I've been to Yellowstone twice in recent years.  Beautiful park!  I used my 300mm f4L for wildlife there but wished for more reach.  Last summer I purchased the 100-400 II.  It is a stunningly sharp lens with a short minimum focusing distance.  That lens pretty much stays on the 7d2.

Whatever you decide, enjoy your trip.  And keeping two bodies is the way to go.
