I love my 200-500 as well as my 300 PF and will be using both with my future D850 (not delivered yet). Considering the D850 is heavier than my current D7500, I am trying to find ways to cut down the weight of my gear (for longer hikes). So my thought was to keep my 200-500 for shorter hikes and take the 300 PF+TC14 for longer hikes (as 300 mm doesn't cut it for perched birds).
How does the IQ of the 300 PF+TC14 compare to that of the 200-500 @420 mm?
I know the 500 PF would be the best option, but considering I put all my savings into the new D850, I have to wait till I can make another big investment.
Thanks and wish you all a good start this week.
PS. I have watched Steve's video on TC (multiple times) and read the TC reviews here on this forum (was a great help). I just want to know if it's better to manage the weight of the 200-500 or if the TC is really worth the weight-reduction.
