I am heading out to Yellowstone for a week here in about a week. It will be my 2nd winter trip to Yellowstone (1st one was early-mid Feb a few years ago).
Equipment I own:
-Z9
-D850
-Z800mm
-500mmPF
-200-500mm
-105mm macro (G)
-24-70 f2.4g
-1.4tciii
-the f to z adapter mount
-20mm f1.8
-50mm f1.8
Some items I have thought about renting:
-200mm f2 (I've just always thought a 200 f2 could be really cool for some large mammal shots - i.e. bison on this trip)
-1.4Z TC (just for possible use with the Z800 in 4k120/2.3 crop mode for a roughly 2576mm view for short video clips of wolves in the distance instead of a scope with phone attachment)
-Z400mm f4.5
-300mm f2.8G
The focus for me is always wildlife, but I will probably still want to take a few landscape pics.
Last winter trip I had a D500 and D800, with a 200-500mm I owned and a 400mm f2.8G I rented. And then had my 20m, 50mm and 105mm with some filters, etc.
I'm 99% sure I want to take the 800mm out there with me and both camera bodies.
I think I will leave the 20mm, 50mm and probably the 105mm at home this time, and just take the 24-70 instead.
I've thought about maybe taking the 800mm and the 24-70mm, leaving the 500pf and then renting the 400mm f4.5 and the 1.4tc (mainly for the 800mm though).

What would YOU all do in this situation?
We most likely will just spend the entire week in the northern range. I dont think we will be doing a snow coach (will technically only be there for 2 days after snow coaches start running anyway)
