Answer 1

500mm Mirror Lens.

Brilliant for wildlife.

This one claims macro to 1:2.7!

Edit....

Why the thumbs down?

This is not MY lens...just an example!

But for a wildlife photographer a 500mm mirror is an excellent choice.

A good photographer.

You're not going to get a quality lens that goes much past 250mm without spending at least $1000. If you do have over $1000 to spend I'd look at the Canon EF 100-400mm L-series.

If you don't have $1000 and desperately want a little bit more on the long end I'd look at the Canon EF 70-300mm. It'll run you around $400-$500.

I WOULD NOT get that mirror lens. Any pictures you take with it will be c**p. Even the demo pictures they had on their website were c**p.
