Hi Chris,

Glad my write-up was useful. I don't want to make your choices any more difficult, but it seems I should point to what looks like a misunderstanding: there is not much to be gained weight-wise. The D850 together with the 500 PF weighs 2,375 grams, the R5 plus the 100-500 (including the lens foot) is 2,263 grams, so the difference is 112 grams or four ounces. Not much of a weight reduction, really, because the Canon lens is a bit heavier than the Nikon. Sorry!

Lothar
