I think at the current prices everyone should just buy the 300PF , it's under 900 these days. I'm trying to resist the 500pf , but I already own the Fuji 150-600 , and the 500 with a TC to get the equivalent reach is also at F8. My experience with the fringer is it's great on the XH2s but not nearly as snappy on the X-T5, the 150-600 focuses much faster and smoother.

Why no ID on the birds and animals? Common & scientific names?
A bit more useful than the photo information.

I think you would be pleasantly surprised how close the 500mm PF is in magnification to the Fuji 150-600mm. When you and the 1.4x TC to the 500mm you are at 700mm.

Yeah , it's a game of leapfrog, I own the Nikon 1.4TCii and the Fuji 1.4TC . I prefer the 300 (with or without TC) for the size , the 500 isn't much smaller or lighter than the 150-600. It's a tough call .. I have been going back and forth in my head about this for weeks. I find it easier to focus on a fast moving bird on the wide end then zoom in to track , that's the reason I keep the Fuji until I get better at shooting wildlife.

300 PF (advantage : size , fast)
450 F4 FFE (crop mode 675 F4)
1.4TC 630 F5.6
1.7TC 765 F6.8
2TC 900 F8

500 PF (advantage size, 1 stop faster than fuji but shorter)
750 F5.6 FFE (crop mode 1125 5.6)
1.4TC 1050 F7.8
2TC 1500 F11.2

Fuji 150-600 (Advantage, zoom , noticeably better AF)
900 F8 FFE (crop mode 1350 F8)
1.4 TC 1260 F11.2
2TC 1800 F16

I use the Nikon 1.7x with the 500 PF resulting in 840mm @f9. Your observation regarding the fuji 150-600 and better AF wider is interesting. There are two reasons this is happening:
- It is easier to keep your subject in the frame thus the focus will work better. Having it stay in about the same place in the frame due to less magnification also helps.
- The faster aperture when wider puts more light on the sensor which helps with focus.

No , misunderstanding . It focuses either way, but easier to find / frame the bird initially on the wide end then zoom in.

Glad to see this thread take on a life of its own. Great pics! Reassures me that choosing Fuji for my wildlife kit was a good decision. Just got my X-H2 this week to replace my XT-1 so I'm getting jazzed with what it will bring!
Anyway - for now here's 3 more with the XT-1/100-400. Taken in Denali NP.

I started the thread partly to try and motivate myself to give Fuji another try for this segment of my photography. There have been some really great images posted so far, and I'm quite intrigued by the results Morris is getting out of that Nikon 500 PF.

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday it was hot, sunny and breezy. Today overcast with drizzle and a light breeze. I was only out for less than an hour before it started to rain. I don't mind photographing fungi and native orchids in the rain, but not a fan of photographing birds when it's raining.
