I made a mistake and anyone who seen the books would quickly pointed this out. What happened is I went through the Wildlife Photographer of the Year first, checking the stats and afterward I went through the British Wildlife Photography Awards.

The bulk of the of long telephoto winners happened to be in the British Wildlife Photography Awards. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year on the other hand were more varied with the lenses the winner had from super wide  up to the telephoto. It just so happened going through BWPA straight after and it left me with the impression overall in both books the bulk of wildlife photographer winners used long telephoto lenses if that make sense.

Anyway my plan is to use the 35-100mm 2.8  more. Even if I don't went out the 200mm 2.8, shooting the 35-100 wide open in the golden hour, and during both sun set and sunrises will create great results. Some of my favourite Botswana shots were with this lens with dim light and the results are very arty.
