Not to dig up an old thread... BUT... The 200-500 is still a lens I'm seriously considering, any updates from anyone in the last few months?
I've still got my trust 70-200 VR (version 1) which is plenty good for that focal length but not long enough on FX.
Is this one worth a punt would you say?
The thread went a bit quiet. Graham Whistler has shown some incredible shots from the 80-400. He regards it highly. Iain has the 200-500 and was pleased with it. But we havent had a head to head comparison. I uppose it boils down to how much you need the extra 100mm reach. And of course the price. As I understand it the 200-500 is quite a bit heavier as well.
I have put my Nikon acquisitions under wrap for a while as I concentrate on the Fuji system. It's. Much lighter and less noticeable stealble, hanging round my neck when wandering round cities. But I understand that a D500 with either of these lenses, really would be my alternative.
