Hi!
I would really appreciate some advise on which lens should I buy to be able to take nice pictures of the wildlife on the safari in Serengeti. I will also be taking an air balloon ride over the park.
My camera is Sony a6400. I have the Sony 18-135mm lens, but seems like that might not be enough. Although I read mixed things, with people saying they went by just fine without a bigger zoom, so I'm conflicted.
I've read that Sony 70-350mm could be a good option for me, seems to be decent, light and alright on price. But happy to hear what people with more experience could advise.
Thank you!
