Soon I will go to a spotting event, I have three targets to use, Tamron 17-50 2.8, Tamron 18-270 VC, and sigma 50-500, my camera is a 7D.

I'm going to be 8 hours with the camera on top, I thought the best option would be the Tamron 18-270 since it covers all the focal points I'll need, seeing images from other years of the event were a focal length of 40 mm up to 250 mm

Do you think it's a good option the Canon 7D + Tamron 18-270 Vc Di II ??

Thanks

Hi Alber,

if i were you, i would prefer to use 2 lenses, the short one for close-ups 17-50 and the big one for distant shots 50-500 but on the short shutter speed unless it has an IS.

	Can't you take all 3? Because if you can, you can decide later and test a bit.

Anything in the air gets a long 100-400 or what ever you have.

Ground get the shorter.
