A fluorine coating has also been applied to the front lens element to repel water and dirt, further improving the toughness of the lens.
Whether you are headed out on Safari, going bush, or to your local Zoo, wildlife photography requires a certain skill set. While the right tools don't necessarily equate to you capturing the winning image every single time, having the right lens is a good place to start.
