Will be going this summer on Steve / BCG’s Costa Rica trip. For my Z8, have been planning to bring my 105 mm Macro, buy Nikon Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S lens (with built-in 1.4x teleconverter), and bring the 600mm f/4 I’ve been using with my D850. (Will use the adapter so the 600mm f/4 works on the Z8).
Steve’s videos recommend 600mm f/4 + 300mm Prime + 105 Macro for Costa Rica. Does it make sense to bring both the 600mm f/4 and the Nikon Z 400mm f/2.8 with the built in 1.4 teleconverter (which = 560 mm)? The Z 400 f/2.8 will be great in low light but without coverage of wildlife at closer distances where a 300mm or a 100-400 zoom would work. Don’t have those. Can always bring the 70-200mm, of course, but that still leaves no coverage of wildlife from 200-400.
Welcome your suggestions. First time to CR. Thanks.
