murtyjr Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Hi. I am planning trip to Costa Rica. Can someone recommend appropriate lenses for taking nature photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esfishdoc Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 <p>Wide open question without mention of camera/format and/or experience... but:<br> I'd take 2 bodies, a 24-70L, the 100 2.8 IS macro and a 100-400L on that trip... nothing less. For my needs that would cover everything.<br> YMMV.<br> Richard</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Ian Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 <p>If you are packing a crop OTOH, I'd go w/ a 15-85 + a 100-400 + a 10-20/22/24. There are some stunning vistas, but you probably won't have the time to select an ideal shooting location, so something wider than 24mm FOV is often called for. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_washburn Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 <p>I was in Costa Rica earlier this year, concentrating on birds, for which you usually want the longest lens available. If you're fortunate enough to be where hummingbirds are coming to feeders and you can get within fifteen feet or so, something like a 70-200 or 70-300 will work well, though you'll need a flash if you want to stop their wings in flight.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arie_vandervelden1 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 An ultrawide, a macro lens, and a telephoto lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_wagner1 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 The OP is way too vague Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
