Nikon 600mm f4 Z TC or 400mm f2.8 Z TC? Which is better for wildlife photography?
Professional Wildlife Photographer Tom Mason guides you in deciding between super telephoto lens options, specifically looking at the Nikon 600mm f4 Z TC and the Nikon 400mm f2.8 Z TC. Looking to show the reasons why each lens is a great option for wildlife photography, and helping you decide, what option might be right for your shooting! This video is perfect for photographers looking for information when deciding between long lenses for wildlife photography. Hey Guys! So in todays video I wanted to tackle a subject I get asked about a LOT - what super telephoto lens to buy, and how to choose between the current options? Having owned and used the 600mm f4 Z TC for a good few years now, I wanted to talk through my reasons for selecting it, whilst also talking about the 400mm f2.8 Z TC and why that could be a better fit for you! I KNOW the 120-300mm f2.8 Z TC just got announced - I filmed this video the day before... Does that change the decision for some...Maybe, but for many wildlife photographers, I know these large primes will still be a huge draw!
