Doing a bit of forward planning for a potential trip to India which will hopefully take in a couple of days in Ranthambore on a Tiger safari.
Now I have done the Kenya safari thing and my crop camera with 70-200 F4 IS L (100-300 equivalent approx.) was fine (was too long for some of the elephant shots !) but now have a full frame and wondered if I need something different.
So, first question, has anyone got recommendations for tours to the golden triangle + Tiger Safari + a couple days on the beach (2 week tour)?
Secondly, if you have been on a tiger safari how close do you get and what lens would be best (focal length).
I guess my options are to chop the 70-200 and 1.4x in against a new 70-300 IS L (can't stretch to a 100-400) or go for the G1 Tamron 150-600 but this may be a bit too long ? Shame there isn't a 80-400 lens for the Canon other than the old Tokina (please correct me if there is one).
All comments welcome.
