p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Setup for Machias Is Puffin tour?


Hi, I've snagged a spot in late June and wonder if anyone has some suggestions for equipment. I have a Canon 5DII and 50D, and 70-200 F4 IS, 100-400 L v1, and 24-105 L. Do you think I should bring everything in a backpack and is there room for a tripod in the blind? Anything else I should be prepared for?
Thanks, Tim

Tripod in a blind ... No. Your 100-400 should be enough to capture 95% of your images. The cutouts are small and limit your ability to track IF. Time in a blind is max 90 minutes. Best if you have 2-days scheduled. Good luck.

Thanks Ted, I just have one day. The charter was able to fit me an already full week. Do you think the 5D2 would be able to track the puffins, or should I use the 50D?

Thanks kumroe, I get the "Welcome to Canada" ... I read the island ownership is still in dispute between you folks and US. Like the puffins really care which flag flies on the island.
