Would there be an advantage on logistics for taking all one brand with all one type of battery?
I assume your outfitter is top notch for a trip to such a remote place, but for example, in the military, one of our biggest problems was (is) batteries and charging the ones that were rechargeable. For a while we had lots of different sizes to manage and it was a mess. Now things have gotten better, but sometimes they still run into problems.
So an all Nikon system (3 bodies, 2 FX, 1 DX) and the zooms with one or two prime back ups and the 500MM would give you system parity all the way down on the logistics side.
That's all I can offer. This is a trip of a lifetime for sure. I hope it all goes well! Awesome kits by the way....Show more →
Yes, that also crossed my mine. Not buying anything else new, I could bring D810, Df and D500. However, Df uses different battery. If I bring 14-24/2.8, and a 50mm + 35mm. I have to say that I prefer the output of A7r ii with Leica WATE, 50/2 apo and 35/1.4 FLE or 35/1.4 ZM quite a bit better. The Nikon setup for wide angle also will be significantly heavier especially if I get 35/1.4 and 50/1.4 ART. WATE, 50/2 apo and 35/1.4 fle would be just a tad heavier than 14-24mm or any one of the Sigma Art alone. Combined, they are lighter than Nikon 24-70/2.8 VR with quite a bit better IQ as well so that's why I am sticking with these rather than bringing one zoom lens in this range.
