I'm loving using the Nikon 500 PF with Fringer Pro adapter on my X-T3. AF is blazing fast and accurate with excellent tracking. Even when the Nikon 1.7x TC is used.

Very nice pictures with high IQ, well done! I am glad the Fuji/Nikon combo works so good for you, also with the 1,7x converter! Do you think it is much better than your Sigma 150-600?
This get me thinking! My Canon 400/4 DO II with and without 1,4x is wonderful with the Fringer adapter on X-T3/T4. But sometimes I would like something longer and my Cannon/Fuji combo does not work with 2x (no AF). If I buy the Nikon 500 PF with both 1,4x and 1,7x I will cover
- F4 400mm
- F5,6 500mm and 560mm
- F8 700mm
- F9,5 850mm
As an alternativ, we will get a new Fuji zoom 150-600mm which will probably work with 1,4x. Zooms usually is not as long as it says on shorter distances, so let us guess it is in practice 560mm. F-stop is unknown but probably not better than 6,3, so this will get us up to
-F6,3 560mm
-F9 785mm
Hm....it's good to have the flexibility of a zoom but the weight will probably be much more than the 500PF. And the IQ?
