Jaguar Photo Tours For many other professional photographers, we learned the following set-up is mostly used.2 camera bodies, one equipped with a zoom lens 70-200mm, and the other camera body with a prime lens such as a 400mm f2.8, 500mm f4, or 600mm f4.
Other lenses such as 200-400 or 100-400 are very versatile and great for use in Pantanal as well.

For a prime lens, I would lean towards either a 400mm or 500mm lens.
