What kind of lenses are required for wildlife photography?

Generally you require long telephoto lenses, but it depends on what you are trying to shoot. For large mammals like Tigers and Elephants 200-400mm lenses are good. For birds at least 400mm and preferrably even larger lenses. For macro photography you need macro lenses which are generally around 90-100mm. Apart from lenses the main thing is how you approach your subjects, whether you want a tightly cropped shot or a wide angle habitat shot etc. At the end it all depends on your techniques more than the equipment. read less
