Back in the day I traveled a lot with my D200 and I was quite pleased then. I recall my go to was a travel 28-300 Tokina, I have a lot of shots at odd FL, like 78 mm etc... and a 50 mm 1.4D that remains a fav lens on my IR converted Z6II (this is a great deep IR lens). A couple from my D200 era.. The images were kind of film like out of camera because of sensor limits and could be "helped" with software. The photography still is ok, gear and I have improved a lot in 20 years. First image is mexico, the second is a Russian helicopter that dropped me off middle of Kamchatka in the land of volcanoes and is departing to return in a week. I had a lot of good times with D200- I also had good times with the D100, which is another story. Probably been some years since I had my D200 out of my D100, I wonder if the batteries still function, I still have a pile of "huge" CF cards 8 gb 16 gb 32gb .... not used for a while. I am happy to see you using vintage dig gear.
