Great photos.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for our inspiring and rare bird filled safari Simon. I love my 80×400 but after seeing these images am feeling excited about trying out the 200×400. Instead of buying it I believe a test drive at Londolozi with it would be prudent. See you in January 2016!

It was packed full of great birds and we look forward to having you back to give the lens a go Sean, regards to Rich for me please!

I was fortunate enough to try this lens while we had game drives with Simon and Foster 🙂 during last Xmas.
It’s a great opportunity to rent them, I just mentioned during breakfast that I’d like to try the nikon 200-400 and and I received it during lunch delivered by Kate. I used two body, so I had a chance to catch closer moments too, but with the 400 end this lens still laser sharp and extremely fast. I would never carry cross the world a 4 kg lens if I can rent it on site. Hope we can be back soon! Great sightings there !

Simon, these are stunning indeed, but I have never had a problem with your photies with your “normal” lens 🙂 The Sunset, your fave tree & the Coqui are lovely, as they all are. I see your point of being further away, everyone is more at ease 🙂 Thanks as always for sharing.

Beautiful images Simon, I especially love the tree shot! It would be great to try out this lens the next time I’m at Londolozi. Being able to rent a lens that might otherwise be too expensive to afford, is such a great advantage.
