Pros: everybody

Cons: weight, but in line with the type of lens

Opinion: I believe that together with the 300 and 400 f2.8 it is the best telephoto lens for nature photography on the market. I see no fault if well maintained and managed. Excellent lens that I would come back to buy Used even in extreme light situations, it did not give any problem or difficulty reading. Precise autofocus and balanced on the tripod as if handheld

Pros: Unprecedented AF, No front weight, balanced, Sharpness.

Cons: I confirm as mentioned above a bit of vignetting on the FF

Opinion: I was lucky enough to buy it used in excellent condition below the market price, I immediately realized that I had in my hands one of the jewels of the Nikon house for the construction qualities and for its performance in the field of birdlife / sports / macro. I did the D850 combo and the TC-1.4E III make it a respectable 700mm, no loss of AF speed and photo quality. During one of my longest walks 13 Km I did not feel at all the weight during transport, just organize yourself with an anatomical military backpack and you're done. I have been using this lens for almost six months and I must say that it convinced me in avifauna returns the efforts and commitment with excellent files the MAF is lightning fast and does not sin a blow the only sore point and that I can not make the most of it with the D850 the transition to Z9 is inevitable from what I read with FZT it seems the speed of the AF behaves even better about 2mm sec faster. So exceptional optics that I will never sell.

Pros: brutal sharpness, impeccable autofocus. without back or front focus. lightning, lightness...

Cons: has no notable antagonists

Opinion: the state-of-the-art goal.... Shots.. no frontfocus or backfocus... Perfect image... Impressive speed in hooking fast-moving subjects.... Incredible stabilizer... this is an optics that requires megapixellate cameras. In the sense... that the more mega you put in front. the more it gives you sharpness... with d850.. Monster... In short, it is worth all the money spent. he's not afraid of competition. even third-party... comparing it to a sigma is embarrassing.

Pros: Sharpness, weight, balance, construction.

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I was lucky enough to buy it used at a great price, it is the best purchase ever made, it has virtually no downside, I can only talk about it well. Paired with the 850 is outstanding, it is able to return a detail unthinkable already to f4. With the 1.4 III there is no image degradation nor a slowing down of the af Af fast and precise, vr excellent, in the mountains does not tire excessively given the excellent balance.

Pros: stabilization, sharpness and weight

Cons: Slight vignetting on FF (obvious hope in the next models with lower weight and costs:-)

Opinion: One of the most performing 500mm lenses that can be found today in the market, the lens offers incredibly faithful colors with details engraved too much for portraits, perfectly balanced lens with the d850 body, good minimum focus distance , excellent stabilization and speed MAF all very quiet.
