In general, for most breaks there, is 300mm enough? Believe it or not, my next trip is my first one to C.R. ------------------------- |

If you go to Hermosa you will do ok with a 300mm since it doesn't break that far out. I usually used a 200-400mm F4 with a 1.4x t.c. for my surf shots there (little extra glass always comes in handy)
I think you will do fine with 300mm for most breaks. Where are you going in Costa? ------------------------- If it Swells....Ride it!!!

Going end of May. Hermosa first day then south to Pavones, but we're kinda flexible and we're not locked into anywhere in particular. My max focal length is my 300 f/4 with a 1.4 t.c. It's mainly a surf trip for me, but I'm definately gonna do lots of photos. For everyday walking around I'll use the 70-300 VR. (All insured, btw.) ------------------------- |

300mm will be plenty for you. was just in costa for two weeks with a 75-300mm. the only time i wanted more zoom was santa teresa and only cause it was 10+ foot and breaking a couple hundred yards offshore. below is a Pavones shot from my trip. as mentioned before, Hermosa you will have more than enough. have a blast!! |
