I sold my 400 4.5 after getting my 180-600. Honestly, I wish I never would have made the switch.
The only telephoto lens I have used that was sharper than my former 400mm f4.5 is the 400mm f2.8TC that I bought to replace it. While I have the 100-400, 180-600, and 400 f2.8TC, a part of me wishes I went with the 400 f4.5 over the 180-600 when I decided to buy a "lighter" telephoto for kayaks and boat photography.
The 400mm f4.5 is an underrated marvel of optical technology!

The Nikon Z400mm f4.5, bare or with the 1.4TC produces images that simply look very good, Color, contrast and overall look are consistently pleasing in the image threads featuring this lens.
If I had not decided to stop spending money on camera gear, I would have gotten the Z8+Z400/4.5 as a lightweight alternative to the Sony A1+600GM (instead I now have the 200-600G as a lighter weight/smaller size option).
I think the Nikon Z400/4.5 is a very well executed lens.
My favorite Nikon Z lens though, judging by images from others of course, is the Z400TC, I .enjoy watching the images you post with it
