Any suggestions for a good lens to take to Costa Rica next month? I wanted the Macro for the small animals and such, and I have the sigma 28-300mm for pretty much anything else. I was thinking maybe 200-400?

This is the best quote imho...

I'll be using this lens with a 2x teleconverter. With the 1.5x crop factor, and with VR, I'll be shooting Saturn's rings handheld. Who needs Hubble.
