[QUOTE="Iansky, post: 635539, member: 9824"] Great comparison between 2 outstanding lenses, I have the 300mm f4 PF and a colleague has the 200-500mm - we both shoot car racing / wildlife and airshows and to date I have been delighted with the 300mm and IQ delivered. To date, I have not felt the need for a zoom and being a small light lens enables me to carry and use the 300mm on my D500 all day without discomfort and have a 450mm equivalent focal length when needed and increase that to 630 when using the 1.4 extender. In defence of the 200 - 500, on a good tripod with gimbal and a static location it is the perfect lens for many of the events above but if you like to change locations frequently it is a heavy set of kit to carry. Both lenses are stunning and deliver in spades and it is very much a fine line between the 2. Well done Nikon for delivering such stunning lenses. [/QUOTE]
