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

Pros: Lightness and compactness, easy handling, image quality, impeccable construction, af speed, tropicalized.

Cons: Nothing really relevant

Opinion: Bought new several years ago for light releases, it is really excellent from every point of view, second only to superteles in terms of image quality, for the rest (portability, tilt, weight) it is unrivaled on reflex. It is also very good on "Z", perhaps even better than on reflex, excellent even at full aperture, excellent even with the 1.4x tc and more than good with the 1.7x, clearly losing brightness. You can also take it on trips in hand luggage on the plane without too many problems (already done more than once). On "Z" it essentially replaces both the 400mm f. 4.5 and the 600mm f. 6.3. It also holds up well to the 45mpx of today's megapixelated machines without problems. It has nothing to do with Nikon 80/400 or 200/500 zoomons, nor with those of third-party manufacturers, it is definitely on another planet. At today's prices it is a "must have".
