What does lense mean? Nothing.
Lense is a misspelling of lens. It rarely appears in edited writing and should be avoided across the board.
Almost no one uses lense in published books.
Lense and lens are two spellings that refer to the same word, only one of which is considered correct.
Lens is the correct spelling.
Lense is a misspelling that probably arises from the plural spelling of lens:
Since lense is a spelling error, think of the extra E in lense as standing for the word error.
My apologies for being critical, not of you, but your spelling.

Dear OP, 400mm on a crop body should help but keep your shutter speed up above 1/800 (IMO)

Was that really necessary? I didn't know that he was taking an English lesson.
Perhaps you would offer advice on the Lens, as that was the question.

So being helpful is not part of your agenda. I hope I spell pompous a$$ correctly.

To summarize: "Lense is a misspelling of lens." Sometimes, more is less.

Thank you!! Another pet pieve of mine is the misuse of "it's." "It's" is a contraction meaning "It is." As in "It's hot," or "It's not." "Its" is a possessive form of it. So, "she took the camera out and fixes its lens."

I think people who argue spelling or grammar are barking up the wrong tree. What matters is whether the poster gets his or her message across. It's a different matter when writing for publication. In a forum the posts are ephemeral and not worth the additional effort to produce correct grammar and spelling.

Gee, I hope texts and tweets aren't critiqued as well. They seem to get their messages across.
Don't you just love the Grammar police?

S, I agree with you 100%. You are fighting an uphill battle and you will lose every time. The usage of "lense and lens as plural" is very common. It drives me crazy. You'll run across that and many other misspellings as you read more and more posts. Some people don't know, some people don't care, some people refuse to learn a little bit and some people don't read their own post before sending it and ignore the red dotted line under the misspelled words.
This is not difficult stuff, people.
That's my rant for today.

Especially when they don't help the OP or constructively add to the thread.
One of the most petty issues that often creeps into forums like this involves the brands debate. Canon is better than Nikon, Nikon is better than Canon, both correct, yet both wrong! It is the photographer that is the pivotal point not his equipment! The moderators should just delete any comments that makes petty brand related jabs like that, and make the forum better for it! Please fellow members do not promote your favorite brand of equipment when the original question already indicates which brand the poster is using. The original post is not asking about switching brands. Geez !
Back to the original post, that mirror lens suggestion should provide a lot of reach for a small investment, but non zoom is only best if you have a good idea of the distance to your subject and how much the subject will fill the frame? A Celestron C-90 can give you a lot more reach than a 500mm, and often can be had for as little as $100, maybe $200 for a rubber armored with the "special coatings". Yeah the special coating is better. But all those options require you to manually focus quickly, unless far enough away from the subject to shoot at infinity. Also on a sunny day the highlights glistening off the water will look like loads of donuts are floating about.
The best answers are for a zoom like the Sigma Sport(weather sealed), and the Tamron G2. They are both of excellent quality for the investment and will focus faster than you can manually.

The latest generation of the Tamron 150-600mm which has already been mentioned costs about $1,300.00 new.
You can get a great deal on a new first generation right now 150-600, it is still a sharp lens.

You could look at a used Tamron 150-600. I have one for sale. $400.
