There are only a small proportion of photographers who can really justify buying a lens that costs the same as a small car, but if you really need a 400mm f2.8 lens then the chances are that you are going to get yourself one. To stick with the motoring analogy: Canon’s EF 400mm f2.8L IS II USM is not at all like a small car, it is rather more like a Formula 1 Racing car. |

With the vagaries of photographing wildlife, the flexibility of a telephoto zoom would appear to be an attractive solution. However, image quality is often a compromise at the maximum aperture and longest focal length, typically the most crucial settings. We’ve pulled some lens data from our database and put together a round up of popular zoom lenses over the years (and made some comparisons with high performance primes). Read on to find out which models have the best image quality. |
