It seems many ask about what size lens is needed for wildlife photgraphy, or how far away one can be. In response to a thread called "Telephoto Lens Options", I ran a simple comparison to show how big an animal (a Montana cow elk decoy in this test case) will appear at various distances from 100 to 800 yards. The lens was approximately a 630mm equivalent on a full frame camera body, as I used my Nikon D90, 300mm lens, and 1.4xTC teleconverter.
(300mm)(1.4xTC)(1.5 Nikon crop sensor factor) = 630mm
This would be like a 400mm lens on a Canon T3i (400mm)(1.6x crop factor)=640mm
Below @ 800 yards
Below @ 600 yards
Below @ 400 yards
Below @ 200 yards
Below @100 yards
