Dear Everyone,
I recently purchased into the Nikon Z system for wildlife photography using lighter lenses with the following:
1) Nikon Z9
2) Nikon Z 400 mm f4.5 + 1.4 x TC (for flexibility to get to 560 mm f6.3)
3) Nikon Z 800 mm f6.3
I also have the 180-600 mm f5.6 to f6.3 on order, but this might take a while to arrive (e.g. several months).
I will eventually get a smaller second body, but am waiting to see what the Z6III brings and to see if the Z8 gets the bird detection in the firmware.
Are there any other combinations that people think I should consider?
One alternative, albeit more expensive would be an all prime setup of the 400 mm f4.5, 600 mm f6.3 and 800 mm f6.3.
Thank you in advance for constructive feedback.
