I needed to double check, I thought for a second we were in the Nikon Z Mirrorless forum.... nope! Back on topic?

I received this on October 6th from the store I ordered from after emailing them. " We are scheduled to talk with the sales manager again next week… I have forwarded him your email, and hope for ...

Y'all are making me very jealous.  I have my money set aside for this lens, now if they will only send more to Canada :-( So Frustrating!!

+1 for what damocles11 wrote. I think what is stated in that post is spot on. The real question is will your mother want to change lenses? The answer to that suggests whether to keep the 28-300 and ...

Wow, only 4 years and 8 months after the fact :-) Still good for future reference though

And here I thought this thread was going to be about how well the Z7 IBIS works with the 500pf :-)

I'm pretty sure it isn't.  Rumour has it that Nikon Global couldn't give a MSRP or retail cost to Nikon Canada so Nikon Canada made sure they did not over order and only ordered 10 (or perhaps a ...

Arnie, please let me know where you are buying your lenses from. MSRP is $3,596.95USD is it not? edit: whoops, I thought we were talking the 500pf.  Got my threads mixed up!

+1 Hopefully Canada has ordered a crapload of them so I actually get one this time.

I hate all you people showing off your 500pf lenses whilst up here in Canada you'd have a better chance of finding a polar bear in a snowstorm than spotting a 500pf. That said, congratulations on ...

If it isn't have a look at Jobu Deisgns MCF-36 (a bit heavier than the one you have though).  I just purchased one and have been using it with my NEST carbon fibre gimbal head, ROCK SOLID!!

I only have warranty experience with the service center in Canada but the service and turnaround were fairly decent when it came to the broken lock switch on my 200-500. I don't have any first hand ...

I don't have any lenses with this feature (still waiting on my 500pf but don't think expect it anytime soon). I could see this being a benefit when in bad light or using a TC where the AF is ...

Care to look at it from a different perspective? Perhaps you just have a magical 200-500.  Perhaps you are the exception to the rule and not everyone else who is saying the opposite of you?

I've been in email exchanges with them. They went from saying they have quite a few on order and they should arrive 'soon' (that was over 6 weeks ago), to not being sure when they are getting ...

Thanks for that info arbitrage. Is the smaller store BJ Photo?  I have a preorder in with them as well (or at least I think I do, getting details via email from them is sometimes a bit sketchy).

I can give a +1 for BJ Photo.  I was able to get a D850 from them when no one else had any.  I also purchased an MB-D18 from them, again no problems.  Shipping was quick and everything arrived ...

Just curious who of us have received their pre-ordered 500pf.  There have been some rumors that only one single lens was delivered to Canada (not counting anyone who might have ordered outside the ...

Good catch, my apologies.... shutter speed

My worst recent lens purchase was my Nikon 200-500. To date it has been my only lens with a manufacturing defect. The lock broke and turned the lens into a 400mm prime. The lock mechanism on the ...
