re: #145 Feline Fearless Leader

I’m thinking of this partially due to looking at some shots of birds and other wildlife where circumstances limited how close I could get and some of the composition as well. Not going for quick, but curious whether a telephoto lens will get me better resolution when I end up having to take the photo from range.

Per not having a tripod available, a lot of my current photos are while taking extended walks and not being willing to haul a tripod with me.

Also looking a bit at macro lens, but I am getting the impression that for most uses the standard lens on macro setting and photo editing (mainly cropping) does a fairly good job.

I run a 18-135mm as my primary (only) lens and sometimes wish for a little more reach on either end but realize that would probably push the image quality a little too much. It’s possible down the road I’ll end up with a set of three lenses (12-24mm, 18-70mm, and 70-200mm I think is the breakdown for the specifics that I’m eyeing) but that’s also an investment that I’m not ready to make.

I know there an argument to be made for primes, but there’s also an argument to be made for only have one lens attached to the camera especially when traveling (my main use-case).
