Very happy with my 200-500 butI have to say I havent really had the opportunity to test it fully on the D500.
I will do that in October when the birds start to migrate south again.
I am sure it is a great lens.
I was wondering how much the weight might play a part in influencing IQ and preparedness to use it? I realise it has VR or it could be used on a tripod, but it was interesting that Graham opted to use the 80-400, not the 500mm prime ....for operational reasons.
I am about to buy a longer lens option, ready for the D500. My thoughts were that I would be unlikely to carry around a 200-500 lens in the off chance there would be an instance that needed it. I would have to set out with the sole intention of using it, to carry 2.3 kg around.
On the other hand, carrying a 300+ TC just in case is needed, would be more palatable.
Just considering all pros and cons.
