I have considered the 180-600mm and it may be better than the 100-400mm + 1.4x TC. combo I am using at present. On paper the difference is between 560mm at f/8 versus 600mm at f/6.3 is trivial. In actual use though I have had problems with eye detect using the 400 f/4.5 + 1.4x TC on the Z9 and switched to using the 70-200mm f/2.8 lens instead. I can get eye detect with the 100-400mm lens but not with the 1.4x teleconverter attached.
As always one must take a trial and error approach and learn what works first hand.
An alternative to the 180-600mm lens that I have been considering is the Sigma 60-600mm f-mount lens with the FTZ adapter. I was hoping that they would release this lens with an S mount as Sigma had announced this last year.
