Saxon Van Coller-Why A Lens Is So Important In Wildlife Photography?

When we are shooting in the wildlife be it bears in Alaska or birds in flight the most important factor is choosing the right type of lens. No matter the subject is near or far the ultimate result is only possible when we pick the lens of correct focal length. The longer the lens and the longest focal length the better the results. When we are dealing with quality wildlife photographs we cannot get away with a cheap lens as we will not get the desired results. Hence we require a high quality and fast aperture telephoto optics lens. 

Wildlife photography is an expensive hobby hence its better to pick the right gear in order to achieve the best results believes Saxen Van Coller. If you are planning to make an investment in a lens, then this will probably give you an idea and help you make the best choice. Below is the list of various types of lens:

• The best all around, zoom lens is the Nikon 18-140mmf/3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX. While most camera lenses come with the 18-105mm, but with this lens you won’t find a better kit along with such super good quality zoom. It comes with vibration reduction, ED elements for improved quality and it can also autofocus with the D3200.

• If you are running on a tight budget and need to get to this safari and capture wildlife photographs then the Nikon 70-300mmf/4.5-5.6G VR is the lens you will want. It is a great buy as its autofocus is pretty good in daylight and its versatile zoom is ranged between 70-300mm which is perfect for large animals. The lens is compact and easy to carry around when you are scouting for animals in the wildlife spots and safari. You may face a problem in low-light, well this is expected when we are dealing with a slow variable aperture zoom lens.

• The next one is the Nikon 70-200mmf/2.8g VR II this is a superb lens that not only is perfect for portraits but also a perfect lens for wildlife photography. It’s rather short on long-side is one the few on which the Nikon lenses work.

With the difference in features we also see a price difference, hence it entirely suits your pocket which you wish to buy. For me these have worked perfectly and I recommend using them as they are versatile and easy to carry. In our next blog post we will elaborate and discuss about some more lenses.
