Learning to create with Telezoom, as my new Sigma 100-400 C

My gear I carry on every trip;
d750, 18-35 Nikon, 60 G macro Nikon, 100-400 sigma C
So sorry, I couldnt afford the Nikon 80-400, I m no pro, just a retired botanist :)

1: how would a nikkor 28-105 D (the old lens from 90ies) fit in this setup? I have the 24-120,
but find it a bit big/ heavy as my fourth carry around lens.

2: The 100 - 400 is a great new experience. Traded my 70-300 for that one. At loss, but
already I feel this sigma telezoom will be a better choice. Didnt want that slow nikon 80-400,'
the new nikon 80-400 is out of question, way to expensive.

I need a tele zoom to portray mountains and cabins far away. Look at these photos:

Far away mountains;

I am not looking at being a great artist of great photos. I only need som input on how to best use my new tele zoom
to bring home memories from my trips.
AND publish these photos along with my trip reports on my web site ...

For what you are doing i would have said the Nikon 80-400VR would have been fine.
You dont need a fast AF or Fast glass for that type of shot.
A good eye and a decent tripod will pay dividends for you.
I would have preferred slightly less exposure and a bit more contrast myself, have you done any processing with those pics ?
