On safari...

Well, after reaching those conclusions about my Minolta lens I took it away with me to a day at West Midlands Safari park and got some surprisingly good results. I'm now a little unsure what to make of this lens, I still think the images from my Sony lens are better but the added zoom definitely helps in certain circumstances. I think if I was lucky enough to go on a real safari to Africa I would need a large zoom high quality lens with me and perhaps would spend a bit of money on hiring something to take with me rather than trying to buy.
