Pros: sharpness, VR, AF-speed in most situations fast enough, WEIGHT!!

Cons: AF somtimes hunts in nervous backgrounds

Opinion: for me, this lens is a dream. After times with heavy 600/4 or bulky 560/5,6 this is the lens I can take with me wherever I want - long hikes, into the mountains, or...just out of the car window. You save many seconds just taking the camera plus 500/5,6PF, instead of lifting a heavy lens out of the window while "driving by". For hide-fotography or when a TC is an option, a 500/4 or 600/4 would be the better option - af is a little faster and the heavy lenses are more "think about what you shoot" and "concentrate on the target". While the 500/5,6 is a "run around and search and have fun" lens :-) Difficult to explain, but with the 500/4 fotography feels a little bit more serious ;-)

Pros: Sharpness, AF speed, light weight

Cons: lens hood

Opinion: After a year from the purchase I can say that I am fully satisfied with this lens that has replaced the still valid nikon 200-500. Sharp even at full aperture and equipped with lightning-fast autofocus, I place it as a quality between the 200-500 F.5.6 and the 500 f.4 G series that I had but closer to the latter than to the zoom. The difference with the 500 f.4 is only noticeable in the quality of the blur and when the subject is at a considerable distance but otherwise the portability (it is mounted on a D5 in a 44x30x19.05 backpack) and the better AF motor compensate for these differences. Let's draw a pitiful veil on the lens hood that I have already had to change as it broke ...

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".

Pros: Sharpness, lightness, bulk, MF speed.

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: I bought this lens three years ago as a replacement for the 500 f/4 which, given my age, had become uncomfortable and unusable especially in use without a tripod. Not to mention the itinerant hunting... The wait before the purchase was long as immediately after the release they were nowhere to be found. It was a total fall in love from the first viewing of the photos! I used it immediately on the D4s and now on the Z9 with adapter and with even more satisfactory results. Now I have ordered the 180/600 from the Z series. I don't expect the same sharpness but I am enticed by certain options that reserve these lenses for the Z9. We'll see the difference...

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
