Re: 100-400mm for Travel Photography

The 400mm focal length, though more obviously used for reach, is about perspective... the compression of the scene. This usage is often a question of style and your asking the question suggests you are still developing yours.

I recently spent nearly two weeks in Italy with the 100-400 IS 2   in my bag. I would suggest that if you want to see the real ability of the lens you need to look at the idea of a monopod, Sirui make an affordable carbon one.  I use this lens for all sorts, it is great at close focus as well as landscapes   and knocks the socks off the 24 - 105 L that I have.

Its an important part of being you, shooting things with your focal length and style....  if we all used the same lens we would all start to look the same.
