Bempton Cliffs - Lens??

400 f/5.6L

You might miss a couple of shots for not having the shorter lengths, but if you take the 70-200 it will feel too short.
I was there a couple of weeks ago and my 100-400L moved between about 250-400mm, but I never found below 200mm enough for anything.
Just hope the light is good enough for f/5.6

Thanks squishy,

Thats what I thought but as you say the light will have to be good for the 400mm 5.6.

Hi John,
I go to Bempton regularly,love the place.I use my Canon 100-400 most of the time.My Mrs has some great shots using my 17-85.We got lucky with the Gannets coming in real close.
Best time to go is early morning or early evening.Less folk around and you can go under the fences and get very close to roosting birds.The RSPB guys get nervous if you go under the fence as there have been a few jumpers and I'm not referring to young Guillemots.Witnessed a woman being talked back in off the edge last spring.
 
The 400mm with out a shadow of a doubt :thumbs:

Regards

Richard
 
I was there today and in some places the 70-200 would be useful as the Kittiwakes are collecting nesting material from the cliff tops - away from the popular viewing points they were very close to the path and also in the fields behind. For most of the time though your 400 would be the one to use.
