[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 812424, member: 50197"] In order to make a fair comparison, I would take at least 4 pictures of the same exact subject, preferably a static one, using a tripod to exclude any camera shake. Two, one at 500mm and maximum aperture and a second stopped down one or two stops. I would then take two more at 600mm, again, one at maximum and another the same 1 or 2 stops down. With different apertures and ISO settings, you don't know what differences are from resolution at a given focal length, and which are from changes in settings. It would also be helpful to do the same with the 200-500mm at 500mm, if available for the test, don't know how many folks would have both to try it. I have no doubt that the new lens will outperform the 200-500, even at 600. While, an excellent lens for the money, the 200-500 barely makes the grade for 36MP, whereas the Z lens are reputed to be optimized for the newer high resolution sensors. It should be noted that not many FX lenses make the grade of 36MP resolution or higher.
