@xiao_xiang: There's no consensus on what "low ISO" means, not "high ISO" either. Competitive to what? Analog MF? Canon 6D II FF?

A lighter, longer and cheaper 500/5.6 PF will sell in bigger numbers than a more expensive 400/4. And the niche is not occupied, it's a unique lens. So more profit for Nikon in the end. 500mm also ...

Headline says "Fujifilm X-T3 image quality: very competitive at low ISO". Low ISO used to be 100-200 or perhaps 400, and high 1600-6400, where the X-T3 still does fine. A bit more precision in the...

Photonstophotos shows that X-T3 have better PDR than X-T2 and D500 at ISO 25600:

Just wonder if this is...

@Photo_Genius: Those who prefer dual card slots?

@vdsc: I prefer to look at measurements, any camera is bad at those ISO:s:

The X-T3 is so good that reviewers desperately seek something to complain about. There's noise at ISO51200 oh noooo! BTW, Cartier-Bresson did just fine without IBIS.

@vdsc: It's hard to use those lovely little Fuji lenses on the Canon body though. And at the most used ISO:s the Canon seems to be steam-rolled by the Fuji...

@vscd: With the 200/2 + TC or 100-400mm you can get to a similar focal length and f-stop. But this thread is not about lenses...

As I wrote below, all nikkor lenses since 1992 are D-lenses. Though it might not say that on the "package" or lens info.

Are you sure? All lenses introduced since 1992 have been "D" (showing distance info). I'm talking about the predecessor to the AF-S 300/4. "the Nikkor 300mm f/4.0 ED-IF has a marginally larger ...

The conclusion should be that the X-T3 has slightly higher noise at higher ISO but still show more DETAILS. Not sure how Dpreview can miss that fact? And also, 100% crop comparisons corresponds to...

I've had both lenses, still have the PF. Owned the AF-S version as well. VR is virtually silent in comparison. The 300mm/4 AF D ED was actually scaring birds away . CA was too high IMO even with a ...

Screwdriver focus? What does it sounds like when focusing? A small train passing by? :-) Get the PF, you will be happy with it. Optics are much better in the PF.

Looks excellent! Nice to see that the lens can deliver sharp shots also on the D500.

+1 Nikon has no clue either. I haven't seen any in stock, not anyone I talked to either.

Does it have IBIS? Nothing is mentioned about it?

Could be anything from bad weather/tornados in Japan to quality issues. The lens is assembled in China but some parts/lens elements are likely made in Japan. I hope to get one for next spring, if ...

Or perhaps it's more of a "review"...content is hard to find between all the adds. That said, mostly positive.. Some samples to download, some look noisy, some not super sharp, less noisy one's ...

The lack of phase detect (in the G9) is a weakness in those situations. I think you made a good choice. If you want to reduce weight, you could always get the 500/5.6 PF later.
