The 400 f4.5 is a great lens, and as primarily a wildlife shooter, stays on my Z9 most of the time. I use it with a 1.4 TC for reach, and am very happy with the image quality I get from this combo.

Yep, me too. Probably the Z S line lens I’m most impressed with.
It has a refined feel like the 50&85/1.2
With the TC it looses the polished feel, but still looks like a native sharp prime. Pixel peeping won’t give away there was a TC in the mix.

For what you describe it should be a nice compliment to the 600 and light/small enough to carry them both. I never thought anything would take the place of the 500PF in my bag but this lens has done so even though it's a bit short. It's really an excellent lens.
I'm slowly being won over to the 400mm. Like you mention, I thought I would prefer "longer" reach and have thought about the 500PF but the more reviews I read and the more U2B videos I see I am blown away at how small this lens is and how good IQ is. Small and light make for a very convenient walk around lens...
Thank you. Now that I have it, i feel most often, I am reaching for it specially in hiking , much easier to carry it and hold it than my 600 mm. I do love it.
