Have found AF quite fast, sure one cannot possibly compare it to my lightening AF fast 400 2.8E or 70-200E and should never have even thought it would, but found it faster than my 300PF, and kills the 200-500 (as it should) plus let's not forget once you have the 8M limiter set it's fast indeed and still makes for a perfect BIF lens, it just rocks on my D5 I can tell you!
I have to wonder what would be the most killer combo with this lens for birds.
D5 with extender
D850 with extender
D500 (no extender).
I'll couple with the D850. My D500 is now a backup body for BIF. Unless something changes my mind, I will avoid the TC and f8.
I may not keep this 500 PF, but of course, I probably will. I still like my 200-500 and will keep it, though it may be rarely used now. I will not know until I have used the lens quite a bit on the water.
This lens seems to be shipping faster than the D850 did. It may still arrive in time to catch the loons before they leave for the ocean. If not, I'll catch them there.
