I traveled to Kenya recently for a short trip during which I had the chance to visit a couple of national parks and see some spectacular wildlife. When I'd previously lived in this beautiful country, I never had a super-telephoto lens to hand that could get me really close for shots of lions, rhinos, and more. I needed to remedy that on this trip.
This would be my chance to bring a lens that I otherwise couldn’t afford, nor make enough use of day to day to justify owning one. I was keen to take just one extra pro lens for the week to go with my Nikon Z6 II mirrorless camera, and for it to be relatively lightweight but capable of producing pin-sharp and high-quality images.
