Nikon AF-S 500mm f/5.6 E PF ED VR

Pros: Lightweight, handling, sharpness, AF speed

Cons: a notch below the sacred monsters F4

Opinion: I've had a lot of Nikon F lenses now almost all sold, I've left the 500PF and the 300 F/2.8 vrII until now, I got the Z PF series and I hope that the 600PF will be as good as the old 500. The 500 PF coupled with the D5, the D850 and the 500 gave me great satisfaction if I used it well little, compared to the 400 f/4.5 z for me the 500 comes out as the winner

Nikon Z9

Pros: An evolutionary leap !

Cons: is a Mirrorless

Opinion: I left the D5 & D850 to switch to the Z9 for now I'm very happy as it brings together both of those I had in one. Obviously on the other hand are the limits of all mirrorless, beyond this, to exploit it thoroughly I think it is appropriate to update the optical park to the Z series. To make the most of the speed you also need to change the memory cards using the CF.

Sigma 500mm f/4.5 EX DG HSM

Pros: Sharpness, price, size and transportability, constrictive quality.

Cons: Noisy Autofocus and requires new cameras

Opinion: Despite that has never made a big fuss, I have purchased for 6 months this lens and I must say that gave me great satisfaction, soft at full aperture becomes sharp already at F/5.6, the autofocus to be fast and accurate, needs the sensor 153 points , on series first is fine but less rapid, except on 750 that goes very well, almost as on D5. Obviously it will not be like the big fixes of the house, but in relation to the price I was really happy. The stabilizer is used to little seen the type of lens that matches well to a tripod or at most a monopod.
