hi there. assuming you are asking which of the ones you have listed, I would go with the 70-200.


Equipment: Canon 7D, Canon 24-70mm 2.8L II USM, Canon 100-400mm 4.5-5.6L IS USM , Canon 50mm 1.4, Canon 10-22mm, Canon 2x Extender III, 580EX II

You really have 2 different shooting scenarios. For the zoo you want some reach, so one of your crop bodies and your 70-200. For Disneyland I'd take the 5D and 24-105.

This. My everyday walk around is my 24-70 2.8L which I adore, but at the Zoo I would prefer a 70-200 if I had one lol

+1

All I had on my last Disney trip was my 40D and 24-105 and the only time I was lacking was at Animal Kingdom for extra reach.

I have a 28-105, and just purchased a Sigma 18-50 specifically for the Disney trip. My thinking is that on a crop body I would be happier with the 18 at the wide end vs the 28 I have now. I also thought that the speed (f2.8 @ 18mm) and the OS (IS) as well as the HSM would make it a good snapshot lens while in the parks.

I remember last time I was there I had to lean back a lot to get the full image of the kids with the characters using a 28mm. Is my thinking sound?

Hands down. while you'll have 2 lenses with you you gett better optics then that 18-200. The 70-200 is pretty much what I take with me to any zoo since the cages for some of them are huge.

You need around 17-18mm at the wide end at Disney. 24 might be pushing it. You will have to backup alot.
