I am considering two different options for my long lens "kit"
Option 1:
- 800 Z (already have this)
- 400 TC (need to order, not sure of the lead time)
- everything below 400 would be covered by 100-400Z
This gets me 400, 560, 800, 1120
Option 2:
- 600 TC (ordered, still waiting)
- 400 F/4.5 (already have this) or just use 100-400Z.
- everything below 400 would be covered by 100-400Z
- would sell 800 Z
This gets me 400, 600, 840
No, I am not going to consider both the 400 and 600 TCs. I see advantages to both. Option 1 is lighter and covers the range very well but involves 2 superteles with all the space that requires traveling. Option 2 is easier to travel with, only 1 supertele. Big trade off using the 800 Z and 100-400 w/ 1.4 TC versus 400 TC.
Option 3. Wait and see what Nikon does to replace the 180-400 TC.
I am leaning to option 3 for the moment
