Re: "Official" Nikon 500 f/5.6E PF Discussion and Image Thread
see this field report:
"I didn’t expect this baby lens to be capable of the same image quality as the F4E, but it is! The D850’s 46 megapixels place a huge demand on any lens, and the 500mm F5.6E PF really delivers. Bokeh looks great, I couldn’t persuade it to flare while shooting against backlighting and I didn't notice any issues with chromatic aberrations.
All-in-all, I couldn’t find any drawbacks compared to the F4E when it comes to image quality."
