Yes but the 500mm f/5.6 plus 1.4TC is almost a stop faster than the 400mm plus the 2.0TC. The 500mm f/4E is a very different story (and haven't done any such comparisons since I do not have this ...

Are you talking about a head to head between the 400mm f/4.5 with the 500mm PF and a 1.4TC? Or? Personally, I think the "more appropriate" comparison is between the 500mm PF plus the 1.7TC and the ...

Thanks for the info. Tough call, not sure I am ready to give up on the Nikon. Don't think I could handle dealing with two different camera systems as you appear to be doing.
-
Thanks for taking the time to post (and a beautiful pic). Can I ask how hard was it to get the 150-400mm? That is, how long was the wait? It would be nice to have a zoom that covered such a ...
-
Thanks. I go back and forth, when I add up the weights, it is much closer than the OM-1 systems people always go on about. However, the 150-400mm with a built in TC (if really available) on a ...

I am surprised to hear that the 1.4TC on the Oly 300mm was disappointing, from what I had read on Olympus boards, people say it is great? That is very interesting to hear as someone who ...

Can you tell us where you are located (ie. US, another country) and whether you ordered it from your local camera store or . . . .?
-
You and many other people (myself included) would love a 600mm PF lens. Unfortunately, if Nikon did come out with such a lens tomorrow, the wait would likely be also a year or more, at least for ...
-
If I end up with the 800mm PF, I will most likely be using it primarily with the 1.4TC! Otherwise the 400mm f/4.5TC with the 2x TC is sufficient and in some ways preferable (lighter) for much of ...

Is there a chance you are not shooting full frame? That is, you are in crop mode?
-
I have the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 and use it for aurora photography. So the question is, which is more important for your photography? The extra focal length or the larger aperture to let in more ...
-
No worries. I don't feel "possessive" about my photos and always interested in learning. I hate processing and for many years also only shot JPG since didn't want to spend the time on a computer ...

Again, glad you (and others) prefer the zoo. Just got back from chasing bobcats in the wild (Pt Reyes). Nice to be out hiking in the beautiful area with few people around. Getting a shot off in ...
-
Thanks Bob! At the time I took that photo, wasn't using Topaz Sharpen (which I do now). And the settings were off since the puma popped out from behind the grass suddenly and surprised me. Felt ...
-
Thanks for the info! Glad to hear that some non-NPS orders are being filled. Enjoy your new lens.

Sounds intriguing but if it was me, I would just buy a Sony camera to use with the 200-600mm if that was the lens I felt I most wanted right now. Meanwhile I will wait for the 800mm and use the ...
-
Thank you for the comprehensive weight and size comparison! I have contemplated getting the Tamron Z 70-300mm to replace my Nikon P 70-300mm, mostly so I don't have to worry about not having the ...
-
Thanks Tord! Some of my favorites. I feel very fortunate to have had these close encounters with wildlife.
-
I am glad Gary that you and many others feel that way. For me, the best part of photographing wildlife is being in the wild, ie. with few others around. Whether it is on an African safari or in my ...
