wilburpan got a reaction from johonew in Going whale watching: which lens?
Answering my own question: I rented the 50-140mm and a 1.4x teleconverter for the trip. I did not anticipate how much I would enjoy using the 50-140mm. I used it for a lot more than wildlife shots. And even though I have an X-Pro 1, it focused quickly enough for my needs.
The teleconverter was a nice surprise. Images taken using that were perfectly sharp as well, despite my worries that adding this component would degrade the image. Apparently adding a teleconverter does not mean an automatic decrease in image quality. See here:
My only regret is that I didn’t go with the 2x teleconverter. If I had to do this over again, I would have used the 2x teleconverter. I tried the 100-400mm before going on the trip, and I would rather have the 50-140mm and a teleconverter.
I didn’t see any breaching whales, but saw a lot of them swimming around.
