MSA
I may be relaxed but I'm not drunk....
I'm off on a short safari later in the year, mainly concentrating on the mammals. I have a Canon EOS40D which I'm pleased with, on the whole, but it seems slightly "flaky" since it got wet and stopped working altogether a year ago, and was repaired with electrics replaced; most of the time it's fine but I just don't feel as confident with it as I did. Main lens is the EF 400mm f5.6; also have the EFS 18-55mm that came free with a previous camera, and a s/hand Sigma APO DG 70-300mm f4-5.6 with macro setting, which I use for moths. The Sigma is fine for what I use it for, but the autofocus is erratic, often jumping in and out of focus if I tap the shutter release.
I could probably justify about £600 or so for a lens or a camera. I suspect a lens would be the way to go. What would others suggest? I noticed a glossy ad for a Tamron 16-300mm f3.5-6.3 macro lens, but no-one here seems to mention Tamron much.
