Pro ’s Killer kit #01 Nikon AF -S 600mm f/4G ED VR

This is arguably the ultimate wildlife lens for subjects that are distant, or small, or both, as it boasts superfast AF and is pin-sharp across the frame. At 600mm, though, shutter speed (and therefore) ISO become even more crucial: the slightest movement of the lens, whether this is from camera shake or, say, the vibration from a boat or 4WD, can result in blurred shots. Try holding a pair of binoculars perfectly still, and you’ll see what I mean!
