camera strap recommendations
I love my Cotton Carrier for birding. My usual birding set up is a Nikon D500 with a 300mm prime and 1.4x converter. I have not tried it with an 80-400 lens. Very comfortable to wear and it will keep your camera and lens secure and not swinging around as you hike.

Waist/Day Pack?
I have a Mountainsmith Tour lumbar pack. I find it extremely comfortable to wear all day. It is quite roomy. I do find that if I use small zippered bags to organize my stuff inside it's more functional. I have a couple of zippered pencil cases I got from LL Bean that work well and are fairly rugged. Batteries in one, memory cards in another and any allen wrenches needed for tripods/heads, etc in another. Still room for my phone, snacks and whatnot in the pack. Water bottle(s) in the mesh pockets on the sides.

Still practicing!
I think #3 is a Black crowned night heron. The beak doesn’t look long enough for a great blue heron.

They look like black-crowned night herons to me.

Shopping for a Wide Angle Lens
Thanks Gang for all the feedback. Got some homework to do! I’ve got some time before my first trip so don’t have to make a decision under the gun!

Any lens for the D850 will also work perfect on the D500. But because they are full frame lenses they won't give you as much width on the crop sensor D500.


Yes, that I know. So I assume the ones you recommended for the D500 are DX lenses. I haven't had a chance to look them up yet.

Thanks MT Shooter. I'll do my homework!

I recently purchased a Tokina 11-16, f2.8, for Canon and it is awesome!

NIKON 10-20, Tamron 10-24, or Tokina 11-20 for your D500. Nikon 14-24mm F2.8 or Tamron 15-30mm F2.8 VC for your D850.


Thank you. I'll have a look at those options. Was hoping for one lens that would work with either camera!

Shopping for a Wide Angle Lens
I mainly do Wildlife and Bird photography. I will be doing some traveling this year and want to purchase a wide angle lens for the scenic vistas I am likely to encounter.

I shoot with the Nikon D500 and D850. Currently my widest lens is the Nikon 24-85mm 1:3.5-4.5 G ED. Not opposed to a third party although all my other lenses are Nikon.

Thanks in advance.

If it were me, and it is not, I would go with the Nikon 200-500 cause for my style of shooting, I want to be mobile and quick. You can be neither with the big boys. At least, not me. AND, the 200-500 will rival the big boys on MOST shots. Yes, it will.


Thanks billnikon. I have the latest generation Nikon 80-400 lens that I use often when I need some flexibility in focal length.
