[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 835390, member: 50197"] Did you get an adapter? The 200-500 is an F mount lens, and needs the FTZ adapter to be able to mount it to your Z camera. I mentioned that in my first post, but didn't emphasize it. The FTZ adapters aren't cheap, but they aren't terribly expensive either. They run about $270 new. Unfortunately, you really don't typically save much on used with this item. Don't try to mount the 200-500 without the adapter, it can scratch up your new camera. The F mount bayonet is smaller than the Z mount opening. $800 for a new 200-500 is a good deal, even having to purchase an adapter. This will run nearly half the price of a 180-600. Most of the reviews I have seen say that if you have a Z camera and a 200-500, you should probably stick with it, as opposed to selling it and buying a Z 180-600. Like I said before, it is considered a very sharp long tele for the money. [/QUOTE]
