Pros: Weight, Built-in TC, AF, Stabilizer, Optical Quality

Cons: Not being able to use it on reflex flagships

Opinion: After almost two years of use I can say that this lens is one of the best Nikon superteles I've ever had, along with the 600 FL. The integrated teleconverter is a huge advantage: once you have tried this solution, it is difficult to go back to a supertelephoto that does not have it. The speed and practicality with which you go from 400mm f/2.8 to about 560mm f/4 really makes the difference in the field. The optical quality at 400mm f/2.8 is exceptional and the new TC 2x for the Z system offers significantly higher performance than the DSLR version. In the right light conditions, the lens continues to guarantee high-level results even when using the 2x TC and the integrated teleconverter at the same time, reaching almost 1200mm of effective focal length.

Pros: Brightness first of all, built-in multiplier that makes everything I had used before sconomodo... Crazy Rendering

Cons: Compared to competitors Canon and Sony it is slightly heavier but having the teleconverter it was understandable.

Opinion: The lens that every nature photography enthusiast dreams of It does everything you could want with a 400 and at the first light of dawn paired with z9 it is also perfect for the search for animals still invisible to the naked eye. Hands-free understandably tired but manageable The ability to switch with a click to 560mm f4 makes it that little bit more than I ever thought could exist

Pros: Sharpness, for an f2.8 it's light and compact. Built-in TC

Cons: Practically nothing

Opinion: I've been using it for a few months for sports photos in particular, very bright, handy and fast in focusing, with the possibility of extending the focal length with a simplicity and ease from many possibilities of use, robust, very robust, and silent, for sports photography maybe not needed, but for nature it is. All the controls are in the right place, as far as ergonomics are concerned, the grade is the best. In conclusion, is it worth all the money spent? If used professionally it is certainly also worth it as an investment, for an amateur the cost is prohibitive, there are other valid lenses such as the 400 f4.5 that give excellent results and satisfaction.

Pros: Lightweight, easy handling, integrated TC

Cons: At the moment none

Opinion: It came to me today to my great joy! Mounted immediately on z9 and tested both in the afternoon and in the evening. The autofocus does not miss a shot even in the dark, it is manageable, light and excellently built. With a finger you insert the duplicator which makes it perfect for naturalistic. Impressive sharpness. Pretty much the ultimate optics I've been waiting for. I will have the opportunity to try it as a shed in these days and maybe I will update the review with more in-depth details
