      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 🙏

    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!

    I’m going in 2 weeks and struggling with this decision. Mine will be all landscape, though I’d 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? I’m thinking maybe 20/1.8, 24-70/2.8 and maybe 100-400?

    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?

    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.ðŸ˜Ē

    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.

    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.
