for safari trips longer the better... I think similar thing for birding :> 200mm I think is just too short you end up cropping your pix a lot. Best way to gauge is the Zoo like the white tiger area maybe you're lucky if you can get that close to them in the wild.

No zoo here leh...
Anyway, is there anywhere good in Singapore that rents out A lenses like the SAL70400? Wanna compare here cheaper or back in Singapore cheaper...
there's some camera rental shops here but not tried them before I know Sony I think they started some lens rental?? not sure about it though maybe other bros here could shed some lights
I only know this one shop when my bro rented another body (Nikon gears here) when we did a wedding shoot http://sg.camerarental.biz/PriceList/PriceList.aspx price seems ok
I've only been to Kruger National Park (I suspect its more tightly regulated since its in SA, so only can stick to the roads )
Based on my experience in Kruger, the animal encounters are mostly 5-20m.
Good gauge of the furthest distance is yeah.. .like the white tiger distance in the SGP zoo.
Any further and its usually obstructed by undergrowth or bushes.
Many encounters can be lucky and occur within 15m.
I had a pack of lions wait beside the road and right next to the car.
Basically, just Zoo enclosure distance like the tiger, lion, rhino and other African animals enclosure in the zoo.
So all the focal lengths needed from nearest to furthest can be gauge from there.
I'd suggest at least 300mm and preferable a zoom.
If you want animal portraits, you might even want to consider a 'super crop' camera as 'backup' or a longer FL lens.
Serengeti might be different.
LA-EA4 only have 15 focus points though. The 70-400 is probably better go with A99 so you have more flexible focus points.
Also consider Sigma 150-500 or Tamron 150-600, the A-mount version should work with LA-EA4 too.
