There is no doubt that fieldcraft and even more so, local knowledge and access rights, are required to get you close enough.

Beyond that, we have to rely on longer lenses...as far as funds allow.

I have yet to take a wildlife photo that didn't need cropping. That means I haven't got a long enough lens in my a**enal. It also means to my mind that a zoom lens is not what's required, as I would invariable use it on max length anyway. Sadly at the moment, the sensible options have to be zooms....and with them unnecessary weight.

I for one am eagerly waiting for news of whether Nikon will extend the PF lens range beyond 300mm. A 500 or 600mm f4 would be very interesting...even if its lighter weight wasn't as amazing as the 300mm.
