This lens seems just as sharp as the 600mm TC…
The 600TC is the sharpest supertele that Nikon makes. The 600PF is very sharp, but not quite in the same league as the 600TC. Realistically though, the difference in sharpness isn't something that most people can/will notice. The differences really come down to features (built in TC, extra buttons, better AF motors), build quality, light gathering, and out-of-focus rendering. The 600PF is a great lens and is the 600mm prime that most people should be getting, but there are some key things the TC lens brings to the table that professionals need and will pay for. Even with the 600PF, if you don't need the ultra light weight and small size, the 180-600 is probably a better choice for most people since it gives you 95% of the optical performance plus the flexibility of a zoom.
