Imagemaster,thanks. The Olly& Panasonic/Leica are nice low weight choices, however, I went with a Sony full frame setup for that goal range.
I am interested in this lens for longer reach and as part of a Nikon setup.

You may want to replace 500/4 with 400/2.8.

Yes, but I think in Steve's case because he is comparing a 600/4 to the 500/5.6 I can see need for both more easily. What I'm dealing with is deciding do I need two 500mm lenses one f-stop apart. And, if I don't, which one do I really need (or want)? But lucky you, you will get to hear me deliberate that in person every weekend

Thanks Lance...I don't think it can compare to having parrots though

Here is another hummer from this afternoon...

Not given up on the lens, more like the grey dreary winter weather as taken a firm hold here.

Exactly. Here it is brighter indoors than outdoors during much of December.

Wrong time of year for the 500PF in Minnesota. Once the snow falls and ice forms on the river I'll be able to find some owls, swans and bald eagles. Until that time, its deer prepping for the long winter...
I've attached a few from my outing to photograph the crane migration through Wisconsin and a doe that I shot with the Z6 and 500PF, the last of which was posted on the Z6 thread... (apologies for the double post).
I am looking forward to using the 500PF more... hopefully that will be sooner than later.

cheers,
bruce

selected shots with the new 500 PF last month - northern Kruger National Park. I find the 500 on the Z7 to be the ideal companion to a hefty 400 f2.8E on the D850. Quicker into action too, when looking up under a bull elephant...

and this selection of 5 images, also with the Z7:

This lens is fun to carry around and use. I'm trying to find out what's the maximum distance/crop I can get away with.

I think 500 PF+TC-14E III do a better job than 500/4G +TC-14E II (now sold) for static shots. I remember putting down the TC every time I come back from a shoot because the images were not sharp. But I was shooting mostly action with that combo. So it's hard to say. Anyway I'm happy with the consistency of the 1.4X TC with this lens.





@ 1/1600sec, f/5.6,ISO 500, VR ON,9.3MP(3733X2488), Effective FL=1140mm, Distance=10.0m







@ 1/1600sec, f/8,TC-14E III, ISO 500, VR ON,8.5MP(3565X2367), Effective FL=1675mm, Distance=10.0m







@ 1/1600sec, f/8,TC-14E III, ISO 500, VR ON,13.7MP(4525X3105), Effective FL=1320mm, Distance=10.0m







@ 1/1600sec, f/5.6, ISO 100, VR ON,8.3MP(3537X2358), Effective FL=1200mm, Distance=59.57m







@ 1/2000sec, f/5.6, ISO 360, VR ON,20.9MP(5568X3712), Effective FL=760mm, Distance=4.47m







@ 1/2000sec, f/5.6, ISO 500, VR ON,20.9MP(5568X3712), Effective FL=760mm, Distance=13.34m

My birds survived the Thanksgiving butchering, but are plumping up for next year

Finally had a chance to go out and get my 500/5.6 PF a little exercise before my trip in a week.

Z7, 1/100s, f5.6, iso 1400, I cropped down to about 24mp then resized.

So the bird posed for you until you put the TC? Great shots

A very considerate birdie who stood still on the same spot for about a minute

Everyday I refresh this thread followed immediately by a few phone calls to local dealers here in Canada.

Thank you all those who have their hands on a copy and actively post gorgeous photos. My 200/2 w/ 1.4/2.0 TCs will have to suffice for now.

Maybe in 2019 we'll finally get stock here in Canada.

Tekedefoto, not to worry, I do the same here in the US. Somehow, it doesn't even matter so much. It will get here eventually.
