[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 563579, member: 25183"] I've just been looking at this review of the 300mm f/4 PF and specifically it compared to the 200-500mm. [URL]https://photographylife.com/reviews/nikon-300mm-f4e-pf-ed-vr/3[/URL] In these lab tests (for what they're worth) the 300mm only really outperforms the 200-500mm in terms of sharpness at 300mm where you would expect it to. As soon as you start adding TC's they become a lot more even with the 200-500mm being sharper where you want it to be, wide open. Having also taken side by side shots with both of these lenses, at 420mm, the 200-500mm produce more contrasty shots with better colour saturation. I haven't used the 300mm PF "naked" and I imagine its contrast etc. would be better without a TC. [/QUOTE]
