Going to Flamingo Gardens this morning. Was planning to take d500 with 70-300 FX lens and Sigma 17-70mm lens. But now wondering if gear is too heavy…Thinking that I might be better off with my Nikon z50 and the 16-50 and 50-250mm kit lenses. Will I have enough reach with the 50-250?
As I recall, most shots will be at at a fairly short range so there is little need for a long lens. The 50-250 or even just the 16-50 should work fine. On the other hand, you will no doubt drive to Flamingo Gardens and park your car in the lot. When I was there you paid an entrance fee but that was good for the day and you could come and go as you pleased. So you could pick what seems to be the best lens and if you find otherwise just go out to your car and change to another lens.
