I understand the triangle, ss, aperture, iso and use LrC/Ps for post, shoot raw, with D850 or D500, pretty well.
I shoot for fun, but like sharp images, nicely composed. Lens choices are 50 1.8,24-70 2.8; 300 pf 4, 70-200 2.8; 80-400 4.5-5.6 and 105 2.8 macro. Have TC1.4
Sounds like you’re a Nikon user. Auto ISO works well especially with my D4s. Result are good with my D750, but slightly less
Will visit Costa Rica in June, and wildlife may be static, but need be ready for the 'cute movement shots, in varying light conditions.
I've not experienced the jungle light conditions, normally shoot wildlife in better lighting, but I'm studying how to optimize sharp, with noise that I can improve, use auto ISO or set a button to increase ss/iso as soon as movement starts. I can Pano merge landscapes with the very lightweight 50mm, if compelling or simply go for the wildlife.
I'll take the 105 for macro and a flash.
I can't afford/justify a 600 mm F4 (it's a hobby), and not that interested in the 200-500.
So, that said:
Maybe my light concerns aren't something to worry about?
Maybe use off-camera flash, but that has hand, speed and distance limits?
Maybe the 70-200 with or without the tc 1.4. but i give up a lot of reach, gain aperture vs 80-400.
I like the 300, but it's fixed.
Any references, YouTube videos or tricks, thoughts are welcomed.
I use a cotton carrier while hiking.
Thanks,
