How do you manage to pack all your photography gear for the Iceland trip into your carry-on luggage? Went there 3 times and always had major concern on the carry-on. Thanks ð
Hi Matt, been following your channel for many many years. Thank you for all the news, tutorials and reviews! . . I do have a request if possible. Would you be able to compare the Nikkor 180-400 f4 TC vs the new 100-400 f4.5 z and the 180-600 z on a Z8 or Z9? .. I'm super curious how the 180-400 f4 would stack up against the z counterparts. Thank you!
Iâm going in 2 weeks and struggling with this decision. Mine will be all landscape, though Iâd love to see an arctic fox and I am usually 99% wildlife shooter. Not taking my 800mm and probably not the 500mm. Do I need 14-19mm? Iâm thinking maybe 20/1.8, 24-70/2.8 and maybe 100-400?
Hi Could you please help My Nikon ZF refuses to AF when i shoot lowkey with sero ambiance light to the photo. I have no problÃĻme with my d500 . Is there any solution ? Thanks alot
Hi Matt, Just got my Nikon Zf, yes, I am slow to these things, but I finally got it. I want to learn it, so was thinking about your Nikon course. Is this the way to go, or would a subscription to Skillshare be better?? Thoughts? Many thanks
@@mattgranger Muahahahahahaha! - Yes, I wanted something more focused. and I am already on the course. So far, I have gone through the ZF videos and datasheet; all of it. Very clear and understandable for a newb, like me. Sorry couldn't wait, because I was itching to get out and use the camera. Thanks Matt
Can you get all those lenses and bodies in carry on luggage? If not, do you check them, or do you ship them separately? What kind of bag do you use to shoot with? A backpack is kindest to the body, but accessing lenses and bodies is slow. Shoulder bags have easy quick access, but carrying all that gear in a shoulder bag would send me to the back doctor.ðĒ
I'll run a three week long solo trip to Iceland in July, and I have already started to prep a list as well. As I'll mix landscape and wildlife subject as well, that list is also getting fairy long. The only class of item you haven't mentioned, and causing me serious headache, which is the drone. I own and happily use a Mavic 2 Pro, but as I could borrow from my company an M300 (350 maybe) RTK along with a nice little 100 megapixel drone camera, I have serious crave to bring that with me. Of course its size, and the fact that it runs on huge batteries makes me stick with my little drone. I will be already fairly loaded with a Phase One XT and my wildlife / long landscape gear (Canon 600/4 IS mk2 and 100-400mk2). Anyway, it is going to be fun as usual. Hopefully I can catch some puffins feeding the chicks.
@@mattgranger Most certainly. I'm a wildlife lover at first, so I will keep all those regulations and more. I'm going to fly the drone in the highland area, which is more or less a desert with not much wildlife, but stunning landscape. :) Have fun you too!

I don't understand why people care too much about what someone shoots. As long as it works for them, that's all that counts. I have a lot of good friends who shoot various brands, and some even have a camera from all three brands, for different purposes. For example, I thought about picking up a Sony a6000 (yes I know old, but I can find them cheap) as a portable camera for daily stuff when I don't want to lug around sn SLR-style camera with a 2 lb lens. I know some people who have a Canon R5 for sports photography and a NIkon Z8 or Z7 II with a few lenses for landscape and travel work. Who cares? People need to keep in mind lenses and cameras are just tools. Just like how some people prefer a Toyota Camry, while others might want a Honda Accord. They're both cars and both do the same thing, they just have slightly different features and have a different badge on them. But at the end of the day, they accomplish the same task.
I would have an anxiety attack with so much gear just lugging it around, let alone handling all of it. Feels like you need two people to make use of all this stuff.

Very cool camera bodies and lenses!
Nice video
This was fantastic, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!

I think Iâve done that already!
@@mattgranger Hi Matt, yes I actually did see your review of the new Z mount 100-400 vs 180-600.
I was asking about the AFS 180-400 f4 VR tc ð ð
What Backpack do you use for the trip and how could you fly with so big weight ?
Roller bag is main one for cameras. bhpho.to/49TUu8U
Can't imagine packing gear for a trip like that!
What Camera Bag/Backpack do you use? Thanks
Great
Do you have the dates for next yearâs Iceland trip ?
Hey mate, still finalising. Please sign up for details at forms.gle/MHzUrsfdrfHRCvGJ7
Thank you for the video Matt.. Are you using the 2xtc and 1.4tc on the 400.? As well as the built in 1.4?
I plan to take the 2X TC with me to Iceland. I have used all combos in the past however - detailed in my Bhutan videos.
@@mattgranger Thank you
Hey Matt i went to refer to one of your old videos about dehaze, clarity and texture but i dont see it anymore.
Iâm going in 2 weeks and struggling with this decision. Mine will be all landscape, though Iâd love to see an arctic fox and I am usually 99% wildlife shooter. Not taking my 800mm and probably not the 500mm. Do I need 14-19mm? Iâm thinking maybe 20/1.8, 24-70/2.8 and maybe 100-400?

Hi Matt,

Thoughts?
Many thanks
My setup course is specifically about setting up and understanding your Nikon. Is that the one you mean?
I donât know about skillshare.

Thanks Matt
That's a great collection MattâĪ Out of the four systems - Nikon, Sony, Fuji and Hassleblad, which one system do you find yourself using mostly? ð
As I said in video, I primarily shoot Nikon, hasselblad secondary.
Can you get all those lenses and bodies in carry on luggage? If not, do you check them, or do you ship them separately?
What kind of bag do you use to shoot with? A backpack is kindest to the body, but accessing lenses and bodies is slow. Shoulder bags have easy quick access, but carrying all that gear in a shoulder bag would send me to the back doctor.ðĒ
I carry on. I Have done videos on this in the past, maybe time for an update.
That would be great!
Coming soon ððž
Wow, and I thought I was taking too much stuff when I decided to take Z9, 100-400, 24-70, 1.4x telecon and my Z7 body to Africa.
2 bodies and 2 lenses is too much? ðĪĢ ok
You're staying in Prague soon? Are you planning any meet-up over a beer with photographers?
Sounds like fun!

Hope you have an awesome trip! Make sure to keep the drones well away from the birds nesting areas.

Actually a modest amount of gear for a Pro. You must be hiding the rest of the collection. :)
Haha, nope, that's it! (Besides lighting, supports, bags, etc etc)

You get used to it.
