I had the 500mm PF lens. It was a brilliant, lightweight, fast focusing lens with some clever focus recall functions…sharp too. My only critique was that the fractal nature of the lens did seem to render bokeh harshly. It had a digital blockiness that when mixed with a bit of noise from high iso use could look ……well fractally! Sort of jaggy and more noticeable. Hard to explain except it was different and harsher/more obvious that straight noise.

(Look at the darker areas of the Bullfinch photo below)

Ideal lens for sport and wildlife. I didn’t mind the lack of zoom because I rarely got close enough to the subject to over fill the frame and (coupled with the D850) I could always crop with out loss of detail.
