Hi, I have an EM1 and am deciding what lens to bring on safari in Botswana.🐘🦛🐆 I’ve been disappointed with my 40-150mm F/4-5.6 (partly bc of low light).
After some research which said a 12-100 f/4 pro should handle my needs (landscape and not too distant large mammals), I bought it and am second-guessing that decision after being disappointed photographing eagles not to far away.
Reviewing Reddit comments it sounds like the 40-150 F/2.8 pro is popular but pricy.
Appreciate any suggestions and insights.
Edit - I should add that I’d prefer to bring only one lens that will cover the best range and avoid changing lenses. Also, I’d return the 12-100 if it’s not the best choice ($$$). Considering renting.
Relatedly, I’m reluctant to change lenses so am considering whether I should bring a second body. If so, should I consider buying an EM1ii or renting a different body?
Thanks!
