I've got it, but that only gets me to 420mm equivalent.

I'd like 600mm Equivalent or more. I like the look of the Nikon D7200 + 200-500mm F5.6, but the weight is marginally too much. But maybe the lens I want would be equally as heavy

I bought a used 43 50-200 F2.8-3.5 SWD lens with 1.4x TC, cost me about $650US.

Also available new from B&H

The top end is 280mm F4.9 with the TC, that is 140-560mm equivalent and a pretty close FOV match to your Nikon lens.

The C-AF is very fast, some say a hair slower than the M43 50-150, I have no way to compare but definitely fast enough for me.
