    Nikon Z 400 f4.5 with 1.4x TC vs 500 pf questions!?

    Hi folks, I currently own a Nikon 500 pf that I pair with Z9. I am considering switching to Z 400 f4.5 with 1.4x TC after selling the 500PF.

    Replacement Foot for 500PF

    We have all seen Steve’s video of the 500PF, in which the foot came loose and dropped the camera . I have just aqcuired this lens, and see that replacements are available from Kirk, Wimberley, Hejner, etc. Does anyone have a recommendation for one of these replacements?

    500mm PF rings in bright sky--help!

    I was shooting these crows mobbing a hawk, almost directly straight up. Upon looking at the frames I now see concentric dark rings in the sky! They are in all the photos from this series. I assume this is from the Phase Fresnel element---but I've never seen this before in any other birds in...
