lenses for neotropical rainforest

[vlim]

Make sure you have secured the services of the very good guide to have the opportunity of seeing and photographing the animals you want

That won't be a problem take a look at my website (not finished yet, almost all the photos have been taken with Lumix bridges) 

A Canon 180 macro with 1.4 might be a safer option

A safer option than the 300 f/4 and a 1.4 converter ? That's for the 300 f/4 the converter in my idea, not for macro/close up photography...

I just buy the Canon 100mm macro F/2.8 L IS today

Thanks for your advices

Hi guys,

I'm back for a few advices... A friend of mine, who's actually in neotropical forest told to me that the 5d Mark II coupled with the 70-300 f/4-5.6 L IS is just awesome for most of the wildlife there, especially mammals ( a bit short for the birds).

I was thinking about buying the 300 f/4 L IS to complete my 70-200 f/4 L IS but this option my be an interesting one since the weight and mobility are huge factors there !

Or should i wait, i'm not in a hurry, and see if the new 100-400 f/4-5.6 L IS is what i need ?

Thanks, Vincent

What do you think if i buy this two lenses for my future trips in neotropical rainforest.

Canon lenses 300mm F/4 L IS  for mammals, birds and some of snake species and the 100 F/2.8 L IS for snakes and frogs, one on a 40D body and the other one on a 7D Body...

I hope for a new version of the 300mm F/4 L IS this year but it seems unlikely.

Thanks, Vincent

Of course, all these answers would be completely different were this a tropical rainforest rather than a NEOtropical rainforest.     j/k
