Re: "Official" Nikon 500 f/5.6E PF Discussion and Image Thread
D850 is same pixel density as D500 so extended on D850 is same as extended on D500. Or no extender is the same on either. D5 with “only” 21MP FX would be the one to consider an extender on.
I was a big fan of the D500 and when I got D850 it took me a while to warm up to it. I now rarely touch the D500. I find the versatility of having the reach and the FF FOV when I can take advantage of it to be the best of both worlds.
I’m most likely to sell D500 and add D5 to the D850. Buy I’m sure I’ve told you all this on a foggy mountain before😉
Therefore if I could fill an FX frame I’d go for the D5 and TC as needed. If I need to crop I’d go D850 and probably TC also...you can never have too much reach.

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).
