I'm looking for recommendations that balance quality and versatility, especially for capturing birds and larger mammals. Any insights on focal lengths and specific lenses that work well with the R3 would be greatly appreciated!
For bird and mammal photography with the R3, consider the RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM for versatility. If budget allows, the RF 600mm f/4L IS USM or RF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM offer exceptional reach and image quality. The RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM is a more budget-friendly option. A teleconverter can further extend reach.
