Gotta mildly disagree with you there, Loupey. The squirrel photos I posted recently, were shot at 115mm, with my 100-400mm lens. Even a 300 prime would have been way too much. Of course, my squirrels are darned near tame, but even so...

Also, when shooting birds quite close, I sometimes back off on the zoom to be able to spot them easier. Once I have them in my sights, I quickly zoom in.
