Re: "Official" Nikon 500 f/5.6E PF Discussion and Image Thread
My wildlife setup for this lens is a D500. Total weight of D500 + 500mm PF is just under 6 lbs. That's less than my old 500mm F4 AFS-II lens by itself. VR on this lens is excellent when compared to my 80-400mm afs-vr. Haven't had a chance to test it outside yet. Hopefully the weather will cooperate this weekend.
Downside with this lens is it will not AF with the early version TC-14E I or TC-17E II. I will need to upgrade to the TC-14E III. Also, filter size of lens is large (95mm) and a little pricey although given the cost of the lens, it's a no-brainer investment.
