Thank you very much! If you click on the picture, it will open in Flickr and you can get the full exif data on all the pics I post. That said, it doesn't vary by much.

Almost all my wildlife shots in the last 2 years have been with my Sony A9, either with the 100-400, or (since I got it) the 200-600 lens, with a 1.4TC attached. With the TC, I am limited to f8 or f9 depending on the lens, and I try to use nothing slower than 1/1000 with 1/2000 or higher preferred.

I set the aperture and shutter speed manually and leave the ISO in Auto and let the camera decide. That leaves me free to concentrate on tracking and framing the critter. 99% of my shots are hand held, and shot from my car (I am disabled and can't trek the big heavy gear).

For landscapes I prefer my Fuji set up as it is much smaller and easier to carry or hang around my neck if I am treking anywhere with my crutches or chair.
