If anyone is looking for the Nikon 600pf, it's on sale at a $500 instant savings - See here :

Congrats! Mine is permanently attached to my Z9. I loved the 500PF…it was bar none my favorite lens. But this one tops it.Mine is being delivered today!![]()
Thanks! Yeah, I have the 500pf with a Z8 and I'm really happy with it. Even with a 1.4 tele I've been super impressed with the 500pf. But the urge to go with the 600 was too much to overcome so I gave in. LoL!Congrats! Mine is permanently attached to my Z9. I loved the 500PF…it was bar none my favorite lens. But this one tops it.
Curious as to why you didn't keep it? Take careThe 600 PF is great lens. It's as sharp as my 600TC... I really wish I would have kept it.

Because I am not traveling this year like I normally do which is mostly to South Africa. For around my home in SoCal, I shoot during the early morning down at beach, the 6.3 was just too slow which cause the ISO to be cranked. If I was traveling like I normally do I would have kept it. It's a wonderful lens.Curious as to why you didn't keep it? Take care
Makes sense, especially since you have the 600F4 TC. LaterBecause I am not traveling this year like I normally do which is mostly to South Africa.

I have the 600TC and the PF is as sharp.A great lens. I got it a while back, so paid full price. It’s small size and light weight make it a joy to use, including handheld. It’s also easy to travel with. I used it a lot this summer from my kayak, both bare and with the 1.4x TC. It takes the 1.4x TC quite well, giving you 840 mm, f9.
The Z 600 mm PF seems optically excellent to me and I can deal with the f6.3 aperture.
I don’t have the Z 600 mm TC to compare. I do have the Z 400 mm TC and Z 800 mm PF. As good as they are, small size and weight often wins out when I’m picking a lens to take, depending on a number of factors: mode of travel, hiking, need to handhold, use in small spaces (like my kayak), etc.
Well, that's how I got my 500PF a few years ago. I'm getting older and all my gear seems to be getting heavier. The 500PF was a real positive to be able to hand hold.I highly recommend this lens to all the old folks here, and from prior posts, that's quite a few. I exhibited my one true photographic expertise and paid full price when it first came out because the 180-600 was just too heavy for me to lug around. For my non-professional purposes, I have found the improvements in Adobe and other products, to sufficient make up for the slower aperture, with either denoise or lens blur. Just buy one at a discount and avoid my full price expertise.
Likewise. Got mine in July at the sale price. Added a Zemlin hood and Hejnar foot.got mine begore the last rebate ended . great lens
