Re: Camera Settings for Safaris

Yeah those pics are really nice! It looks like you used a really long lens for all of them. For a wide-angle shooter not accustomed to teles, what would you say is the shortest focal length one can get away with on safari to get environmental portraits of the animals? Close-ups don’t interest me, but, you know, it should be clear that wildlife is there, right?

I’m going to Botswana in late Dec with my GX9. Will I be kicking myself if my longest lens is 60mm?
