I currently use a Nikon 200-400 mm as my telephoto birding lens and had planned to upgrade this for a Nikon 500 mm f4, as it is proving to be a little short and does not play nicely with TCs. But the new FL version is too expensive and the recent price bump suggests that its price will not drop to RRP – 20% as previously. Given this is am considering a used 600 mm F4 and keeping the 200-400 mm as a smaller alternative (I can hand hold this for a useful amount of time) or a used 500 mm. The 600 mm will provide more reach at the cost of more weight. It basically comes down to 500 or 600 and I interested in any opinions from people who have used either or both?
