There are a lot of good reviews on the internet for many of the telephoto and super-telephoto lens options used for birding and/or safari. The trouble is that one has to do a lot of searches to find the info. We have some good reviews on the sticky, but, again, separating the big glass from other lens options is not clear or quick.

I am beginning a collection of these reviewsat this link (external link) for www.ChobeSafari.com (external link). Over time, I hope to add to the list of options as well as the list of reviews. Currently the list is focused on lens options that will fit either a Canon or Nikon body. If you have knowledge of any major lens options missing or if you have seen other good reviews, I would appreciate feedback as I think the entire community can benefit from the list.
