Re: 50-200mm vs. 100-400

One camera flexibility is also, sometimes, a concern. I rented the 12-100 for gorilla trekking on our last trip, and it worked marvelously in the jungles (except the darn stabilization switch accidentally turned it off). Lens-changing on the go in the tough mountainous jungles is just not feasible.

Same thing happens with the 300. In busy environments, tape it over.

Two-camera setup is my go-to kit for sports (when in a venue that allows it). I'd do same with a safari so long as there aren't restrictions on total gear weight and size. With time switching cameras as conditions change becomes seamless (generally the 40-150 and 300 Pros).

Cheers,

Rick
