It’s the tradeoff for having a 600 f/4 and 840 f/5.6 in one lens, I suppose. Unfortunately, it’s more ‘stuff’ in between you and the actual act of making a photo. Keep in mind I was shooting quick, constantly moving warblers in complicated environments, where the lighter weight 600PF and no monopod would have been much easier to maneuver; for slower paced shooting: nothing to worry about, buy the 600TC with confidence, it’s amazing.@MatthewK surely you're not suggesting that fiddling with all the bells/whistles isn't as fun as just shooting photos? Say it ain't so. I was just about to pull the trigger on a 600TC. Now you're making me wonder...
Typically Nikon Store new retail sale prices are less than every day prices of their refurbs. The only time I've ever bought refurbs is during the frequent 10 percent off sales. Occasionally specific refurb items get heavily discounted. For example a few months ago refurb 500mm PF was going for super low prices. Like half of new retail. But generally speaking it's not a huge discount below new retail. Particularly considering you only get a 90 warranty vs one year with new stuff.
Thanks. Let’s hope they do it again soon.
Last sale was 3799 for a new one and I saw them at one point for 3199 refurb with a 10 percent off refurb sale. I dint think we will see those prices again any time soon on this lens as it’s made in china and popular so there may not be that much existing US inventory left. If you can get a used one at kEH and you want one I would pull the trigger
What length did you get?
It’s the 1pc 3.35inch
